Avalanche Summary

You can trigger an avalanche on most shady slopes at the highest elevations of the Grand Mesa and the Flat Tops. The most dangerous slopes are uneven, shallow, rocky slopes facing northwest, through north to southeast near and above treeline. Avoid these areas of concern to reduce your chances of triggering a large and dangerous avalanche.
