There are isolated slopes with dangerous snow. Steep northerly and easterly-facing slopes where you find hard, supportable layers of snow with weak snow beneath are the most suspect. Be cautious in gullies and below ridgelines, where you are more likely to find continuous snow and firm pillows. Most avalanches will be small, but consider the consequences of the terrain below you.
