Despite June being days away, rescue teams worked in terrain above 11,500 feet and experienced winter-like weather conditions, officials said. Another expert told CBS4 dangerous avalanche conditions aren’t uncommon this time of year. This rescue comes after a season with more than 5,000 reported avalanches and around 100 people caught and carried, Greene said. This spring, they’re seeing winter-like avalanche risk more frequent than usual, as late season snow freezes overnight and heats up during the day.
Greene says while summer is around the corner, it’s important to remember avalanche season isn’t over, so check the weather and avalanche conditions before any adventure.
