As a result of all the snow, an avalanche warning is in effect through Thursday for all of the Colorado backcountry areas in the northern and western mountains. It is recommended to avoid backcountry skiing and snowboarding during this period of time.

The majority of the snow will be ending Wednesday, but not until it has dumped 1 to 2 feet of snow in the mountains.

A snowstorm swept through Colorado on Tuesday and into Wednesday afternoon, accumulating over two feet of snow in some areas across the state.
