Most slopes are safe from avalanches. Steep north-facing slopes are the few places where you could trigger a loose snow avalanche in weak, cohesionless facets. These are usually harmless, unless you are riding and get swept into consequential terrain. By managing these slopes, or simply avoiding them, you will further reduce your risk.
There is still a small chance of triggering a larger slide on higher-elevation wind-drifted slopes. This problem has been largely quiet lately, but it's always good to keep it in the back of your mind.
