You might not see any obvious signs of instability and you could be the 5th or 6th person to travel on a slope before triggering a large and destructive avalanche. You can trigger these avalanches from below a slope or from a distance so pay attention to slopes above you and other travelers nearby. The most dangerous slopes face northerly and easterly directions generally on the lee sides of a ridgeline at higher elevations. As the sun comes out this weekend and the temperatures increase keep an eye out for any cornices above you as they can break and trigger an avalanche on the slope below. You can find safer travel options by sticking to south and southwest-facing slopes and by staying off of and out from underneath steep slopes on aspects of concern.
