Snowshoeing in Colorado
Before you go snowshoeing in Colorado, educate yourself on the risk of avalanches and how to survive, just in case.
If you love extreme snowsports or any sport that takes you to snow-covered mountains, you need to educate yourself on avalanches. Avalanches are equal opportunity killers; they don’t care why you are in the mountains, they will take down anything that gets in their way. Before you head out with your snowshoes, skis, snowmobiles, and other snow sports gear, Know Before You Go!
“If you live next to snow-covered mountains, you need to know about avalanches.”
You always want to familiarize yourself with the terrain and the weather forecasts before heading out into the wilderness. The right gear is essential, but knowing how to avoid an avalanche is equally important.
