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 an avalanche.
You might be able to trigger a small avalanche in the new snow by the end of the day. If you find more than a foot of new snow on a slope steeper than about 35 degrees consider sticking to lower-angle terrain.
