Avalanche Summary
Dangerous avalanche conditions will exist across the Grand Mesa through the Battlement Mesa by Wednesday afternoon. You can easily trigger wet avalanches on sunny slopes or on low-elevation shady slopes and some could grow large enough to bury you. You can also trigger a large and dangerous avalanche on high-elevation, north-facing slopes that breaks on weak snow near the ground. Avoid steep slopes that face northwest through north to northeast near treeline or if you notice your feet, skis, or machine sinking deep into wet snow.
