You could trigger an avalanche on slopes where you find more than about 8 inches of new or drifted snow. These drifts may feel firm and could crack under you. Below ridgelines and along gullies are the most likely places to find snowdrifts. Strong winds may carry the snow down towards treeline. You can find safer travel on slopes sheltered from the wind.
