You can trigger large and dangerous avalanches on upper elevation slopes that face face north through east to southeast. These slopes have a weak layer buried several feet deep. Over it are layers of thick, dense slabs formed by wind drifting. You can find safer travel options on southerly-facing slopes or in wind-sheltered areas.
