You can easily trigger a large and deadly avalanche on most steep slopes. You can trigger them from far away and they can spread into lower-angle terrain around the edges of a steep slope. If you are caught, you likely won't survive. Make conservative choices and give avalanche paths a wide berth. Look for safer options on wind-sheltered, south or southwest-facing terrain, or stick to slopes less than about 30 degrees without steep slopes above or nearby.
