The primary concern is triggering an avalanche that breaks near the ground on old weak snow. Northerly and east-facing slopes at higher elevations with hard wind drifts of snow are the most dangerous.
You can find safer terrain on slopes less than about 30 degrees in steepness, southerly-facing terrain, and more wind-sheltered areas.
