Seriously though you can check out weather for a nearby similar environment at the Tundra cam http://instaar.colorado.edu/tundracam/large.php
Also the Michigan Creek and Jackwhacker (personally my favorite name for a site) Snotel sites are decent indicators for conditions in that area.http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/snotel/sno ... 7&state=co
Plus you can always check the CAIC site for avy conditions and forecasting for the front range. http://avalanche.state.co.us/index.php
