Just out of curiosity, is it considered safe to burn outside in the winter with good snow coverage, supervised, and away from trees etc?

Winter burning is OK if certain conditions are met:
Regardless if you're burning piles or a campfire/chiminea, you should contact county dispatch at 303-441-4444 and let them know so when your neighbor or a passer-by calls 911, the dispatchers know it's supposed to be there
If you're burning piles, you need to obtain a burn permit from the County Sheriff's website
If you're burning piles you need to be within the specifications for size of pile and snow cover (Smaller than 6x6x6/minimum 4" of snow)
If your burning anything outside, please take a look at forecasted winds for 3-4 days following your burn.

Thanks O'B, I wasn't necessarily planning on it but your post made me wonder.
