Aspen

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. While most slopes are safe from avalanches, you might be able to trigger a dangerous avalanche on shallow, northerly-facing slopes above treeline. If you choose to travel on these slopes you can reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche by sticking to smooth, planar slopes where you don't see any rocks to vegetation poking through the snow surface indicating the snowpack might be shallow. You also want to steer clear of steep slopes with wet, cohesionless snow surfaces in the afternoon to avoid being caught in a small, wet avalanche.
