DENVER — As the summer wildfire season approaches, Colorado is facing a potentially severe outlook due to drastically low snowpack levels, the lowest the state has seen since 2018. Current snowpack is less than half of what it should be, placing the state at increased risk for wildfires. Typically, April through mid-May brings consistent snow events that replenish snowpack. This year, however, only one notable snow event occurred during that period.
