NEW YORK — Dangerous avalanche conditions are expected through the weekend in Colorado, experts warned, as the state has reported several deadly avalanches so far this season.
"We have seen more avalanches this year than we do during a typical year, and recently they’ve gotten much bigger," Ethan Greene, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, said in a statement Thursday."We want everyone to enjoy the wonderful public lands in Colorado, and go home alive and well to their family and friends on Monday."
"We are on the cusp of a potentially very dangerous weekend. Dangerous avalanche conditions falling over a holiday weekend is a recipe for potential accidents," the center warned. On Dec. 26, a father and his three teenage sons got caught in an avalanche while skiing and snowboarding in an area known as the Nitro Chute, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center said. The 44-year-old father was fully buried and died despite life-saving measures, the center said.
Most recently, two snowmobile riders were buried and killed in an avalanche on Mount Epworth on Saturday, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
