It's harder to trigger an avalanche, but where you can trigger one remains tricky. Steep north-to-east-facing terrain near and above treeline are the most concerning and likeliest places to get caught in a slide. Deeper snowpack areas have shown better stability, but there is a fine line between where slabs are thick and where they thin out, and you can affect the weak snow below. Safer travel options exist on southerly-facing slopes, where weak snow near the ground isn't as prevalent.
