You could trigger large avalanches on steep, northerly, or easterly-facing slopes. They might break above you or some distance away. Avoid thin rocky areas where it will be easier to trigger these larger slides. A large trigger, like a snowmobile's track cutting through the snowpack or a falling cornice, could trigger one, too. Look for safer terrain choices on southerly or westerly-facing slopes.
