Steamboat & Flat Tops

You could trigger an avalanche on deeper weak layers in the snowpack. Wind-drifted slopes will be the most dangerous, but you probably won't get warning signs before you trigger a deeper slide. You can more easily trigger a deep slide on steep slopes with many trigger points, and you could ride a slope multiple times before it slides. Evaluate the snow carefully and give features of concern a wide berth.

You can find safer travel on slopes less than 35 degrees with a consistent, deep snowpack and no trigger points.
