Grand Mesa

Most slopes are safe to travel on as there is very little slab. You could trigger a small avalanche where recent winds have drifted a slab of firm snow over the weak base. Look for and avoid bulbous pillows of snow on slopes at upper elevations or exposed ridgelines. In steep northerly terrain be wary of the unconsolidated snow entraining mass and pushing you into a dangerous area like a gully, cliff, or stand of trees.
