Governor Jared Polis provided an update on Colorado’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the State’s efforts to vaccinate Coloradans on Friday, February 12, 2021.
Governor Polis also shared a warning about avalanche danger in Colorado’s backcountry. Nationally, between the weeks of January 30 and February 7, there have been 15 confirmed fatalities from avalanches, the most avalanche-related fatalities in a seven-day period since 1910. Governor Polis urged those who wish to venture into the backcountry to do so by first checking avalanche conditions and then head out with the proper equipment and training.
