The most dangerous slopes are paths that already avalanched earlier this season facing west through north to southeast. Since these slopes had avalanches earlier this season they will have a different snowpack than low-angle terrain or other slopes you might be traveling. This means you likely won't see any signs of instability before triggering an avalanche large enough to bury you. You can find safer travel options on wind-sheltered south and southwest-facing slopes at lower elevations. You can always stick to slopes less than about 30 degrees without steep slopes above you to drastically reduce your chances of being caught in an avalanche.
