Many slopes are safe to travel on but there are still places you can trigger an avalanche. Slopes in the alpine with drifted snow are the most dangerous. Pay particular attention to northerly and east-facing slopes which held the most weak snow before the Thanksgiving Week storm. Stick to sheltered slopes with soft snow to reduce your risk of avalanches.
