The few places you can trigger an avalanche are just below ridgelines on wind-drifted pockets of snow. You will likely find these in gullies, couloirs, or rock outcroppings above the treeline. If you notice cracking in the snow or the snow feels hard and hollow with soft snow underneath firm snow, consider moving to a different slope or sticking to slopes less than around 35 degrees steep.
Expect the danger to increase later this week with an incoming storm.
