You could trigger an avalanche on north through east to south-facing slopes at upper elevations where strong winds will drift snow into a thick slab. Use caution around slopes with smooth lens-shaped pillows of snow or where cornices start to form. Think about the consequences of an avalanche above terrain traps like rocks, cliffs, or trees.
