Most slopes are safe from avalanches. If you were to trigger a small avalanche, it would occur in firm, wind-drifted snow over older, weak snow. Avoid areas of wind-drifted snow that feel stiff, sound hollow, or crack underneath you. You can find safer and more enjoyable backcountry travel on slopes protected from the wind.
