You could trigger an avalanche on deeper weak layers in the snowpack. Wind-drifted slopes will be the most dangerous. You will not get warning signs before you trigger a deeper slide. You can more easily trigger a deep slide on steep slopes with many trigger points, and you could ride a slope multiple times before it slides. You can trigger an avalanche from below.
On sunny slopes, pay attention to roller balls and small point release, which could grow in size to knock you over or bury you in a terrain trap.
You can find safer travel on slopes that face west and have less storm snow and contain no weak layers, or by avoiding steep slopes with lots of trigger points.
