has been issued for the More than three feet of new snow has
already fallen at Mountain High over the last week-and-a-half. All three resorts are 100% open

powder.

When snow is as deep and fresh as this there is a definite avalanche risk.
Best to wait a few days.

Thanks Vito,
Sounds like good advice, that much snow over so short a period can be a problem. Don't want anyone to be injured in any misadventures. The resorts usually do a pretty good job of avalanche control inbounds, but boarders going out of bounds can be really dangerous.
