Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. You can trigger small loose avalanches on slopes steeper than around 40 degrees on shady slopes any time of the day or on sunny slopes in the afternoon. Be aware of terrain traps such as a cliff or a gully beneath you where even a small loose avalanche could be dangerous.
