episode_narrativeCopius amounts of moisture and high winds associated with a low pressure system caused an increase in avalanche danger. This led to some natural avalanches and resulted in mitigation procedures that produced additional avalanches in the western San Juan Mountains.
event_narrativeOn January 12th, 2 natural avalanches near Red Mountain Pass deposited snow on Highway 550 for a distance of 36 feet at a depth of 2 feet on the centerline. Avalanche mitigation procedures resulted in a number of man-made slides which also deposited debris on roadways near Red Mountain Pass, Coal Bank Pass, and Molas Pass. Periodic road closures occurred for a total of 41 hours and 40 minutes at Red Mountain Pass, and for 8 hours and 25 minutes for Coal Bank and Molas Passes.
