Sangre de Cristo

You could trigger an avalanche where a cohesive slab of wind-drifted snow sits over weak snow at upper elevations. Avoid trigger points near rocks, on convex rolls, and on the edges of the slope where the margins of the slab are thinnest. 

You could also trigger a small avalanche in wet snow on sunny slopes. If you begin sinking into rapidly warming snow, move to a shady slope. Avoid being underneath steep rocky slopes during the heat of the day, as wet avalanches often originate from rocks and cliffs and gain mass as they move downhill. Reduce this problem by starting and ending your day early.
