If you find continuous snow cover, you can trigger an avalanche on northerly and east-facing slopes above treeline. Look for and avoid slopes with more than 8 inches of drifted snow or a hollow-sounding snow surface. If you trigger an avalanche, it will most likely be small due to the lack of snow cover, but it could still take you for a nasty ride.
