Colorado is expecting warmer than average temperatures this weekend and this could lead to an increase in wet avalanche activity.

Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 64, were found deceased in their New Mexico home on Wednesday morning. They were married for 34 years. The bodies of actor Gene Hackman, his wife and their dog were discovered in Santa Fe, N.M., on Wednesday afternoon during a welfare check, officials said.

A man was killed in an avalanche in Colorado on February 22, 2025. Nathan Ginn was 50 years old. He was caught in a slide in a zone known as “The Fingers” just east of Berthoud Pass on Mines Peak. His death marks the third life taken by avalanches in Colorado thus far this year.
