Most slopes are safe for travel. You can reduce your risk further by avoiding shallow rocky slopes and small pockets of wind-drifted snow at high elevations. These rounded pillows of snow could be dangerous in consequential terrain above cliffs or terrain traps. Use normal caution, carry rescue gear, leave a trip plan with someone, and travel with a partner.
