You can trigger avalanches on northerly and east-facing slopes near and above treeline. Some of these avalanches can grow large enough to bury you. Be careful around any slopes steeper than about 30 degrees. Cracking and collapsing are signs of a weak snowpack and signs of danger.
You can find safer riding in lower-elevation and wind-sheltered areas and areas that don't face northerly or east.
