Most terrain is safe to travel, but you could trigger an avalanche on slopes with wind-drifted snow. Look for and avoid pillows of firmer snow that may crack under your weight. The avalanche you trigger will be small, but they could still be dangerous in steep, consequential terrain or above a gully.
