Thin and rocky slopes are the areas you are most likely to trigger an avalanche. Check for snow depths consistently over 1.5 meters and avoid slopes with many trigger points like trees and rocks. In steep, consequential terrain, look for and avoid rounded pillows of snow that may break at the surface and take you for a ride. You can reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by choosing deep planar slopes with smooth outruns or low-angle terrain.
