Avalanche Summary
You can easily trigger slides in areas of wind-drifted snow. The larger concern is that these slides are likely to step down into deeper, weaker layers. Slides will grow large enough to bury a person. You can trigger a slide from below or at a distance.
Warming and sunny skies may cause some sluffing, which could have enough mass to knock you over on steep, rocky south-facing terrain,
You can find safer travel on slopes that have not been drifted by the wind and on slopes less than about 30 degrees that are not connected to steeper terrain.
