A skier was injured in an avalanche in Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday. The incident serves as a urgent warning to others.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) states the danger of avalanches remains high in parts of the state's mountains. This is despite recent calm weather.
The CAIC advises all backcountry travelers to check detailed avalanche forecasts, carry essential rescue gear, and have the training to use it. Most avalanches are triggered by the people caught in them.
