If you were to trigger an avalanche, it would be on a steep alpine slope where a drifted slab of cohesive snow sits above older, weaker snow. You will find the deepest and stiffest snow drifts just below ridgelines, cross-loaded terrain, or couloirs on slopes facing northwest to north through east. Avoid steep slopes that sound hollow or drumby. For safer riding options, stick to slopes less than 35 degrees in steepness.
