Recent snowfall has created fresh slabs that sit over a weaker snow layer. You can easily trigger avalanches on most steep slopes. Most avalanches will be small but could grow large enough to bury you. In wind-drifted areas, you can trigger a larger and even more dangerous avalanche that steps deeper into the snowpack. Low-angle slopes less than about 30 degrees without steep slopes above offer the safest riding options.
