United States - April 09, 2025 Conundrum Creek, Colorado - A video shows a skier triggering a wet avalanche on April 9 in the 5-Fingers avalanche path above Conundrum Creek. The slide occurred on a north-east facing slope, as reported by the Colorado Avalanche Info Center. Warm spring weather has raised avalanche danger to moderate statewide. Loose Wet avalanches are spreading fast due to high temperatures and weak overnight freezes. Look for sticky snow, rollerballs, or collapsing snowpack—clear signs to exit the area. Wet Slab avalanches are a greater concern. Linked to buried weak layers, they’re unpredictable and more destructive. Warm conditions increase the risk, but their timing and location remain uncertain. Without solid freezes, the advice to start and end early loses reliability. Backcountry travelers should monitor conditions, stay vigilant, and be ready to change plans. The Colorado Avalanche Info Center emphasizes checking forecasts and staying safe.
