Aspen

Although the danger is easing, you can still trigger a large and deadly avalanche on deeply buried weak layers on certain features. The most dangerous areas are thin, rocky, unsupported slopes mostly facing northwest directions. You might still be able to find a thin dangerous slope on north and northeast slopes as well but the snowpack is generally deeper and more stable. If you choose to travel on high-elevation, northerly slopes choose smooth, planar slopes without terrain traps such as a cliff, creek, or gully beneath you. Steer clear of steep slopes with wet, cohesionless snow surfaces to avoid pushing small wet avalanches.
