You can trigger an avalanche wherever you find around a foot of wind-drifted snow resting on weak, cohesionless snow. The most dangerous slopes face northwest through north to southeast and are near treeline. For safer travel options, you can stick to wind-sheltered slopes at lower elevations where only a few inches of snow rest on the weak, loose snow that formed during our December dry spell.
