You might be able to trigger a small avalanche in an area of drifted snow. Expect to find the deepest drifts of snow above treeline on northeast, and east-facing slopes. Look for and avoid pillowy or lens-shaped drifts that feel stiff on steep slopes below ridgelines and in cross-loaded terrain features.
