You can trigger an avalanche on high-elevation northerly and east-facing slopes. The most likely place to trigger an avalanche is below ridgelines and in gully features. These spots will look filled-in, rounded, or like a pillow. However, these slopes have slabs resting on top of weak snow near the ground. Move to slopes less than about 30 degrees if you see any cracking or collapsing in this recent snow.
