The most dangerous slopes are in steep gullies and along the lee sides of a ridgeline at high elevations, well above the treeline. If you trigger an avalanche here they will mostly be small but can still knock you over and take you for a rocky, dangerous ride through rough terrain and a shallow snowpack. Avoid wind-loaded slopes at high elevations to reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche.
