You might trigger a large, potentially deadly avalanche on some slopes. Finding just the wrong spot on or below a large, wind-drifted face could release an avalanche that breaks near the ground. Conditions are tricky right now because you may find no obvious sign of instability, and snowpack observations in lower-angle terrain may not relate to steeper slopes near by. The simple solution to a complex problem is to stick to lower-angle slopes and steering clear of risky areas.
