You can trigger an avalanche on slopes with rounded pillows of firm snow. You will likely find these drifts below ridgelines and along cross-loaded gully walls. Firm snow cracking beneath you is a good sign to head to lower angled slopes or those with softer snow sheltered from the wind.
Steep, shady, shallow slopes are the unlikely places you could trigger a deeper slide.
