Steamboat & Flat Tops

You could trigger an avalanche large enough to bury you on most slopes. Avoid slopes with textured pillows of snow, fresh cornices, or recent avalanches. You could trigger one of these slides from a thinner area on the slopes, like around rocks, convex rollovers, or vegetation. Multiple people could ride a slope before an avalanche releases.  Seek slopes less than 30 degrees without steep slopes above you for safer riding options.
