You could trigger an avalanche on deeper weak layers in the snowpack. Wind-drifted slopes will be the most dangerous. You will not get warning signs before you trigger a deeper slide. You can more easily trigger a deep slide on steep slopes with many trigger points, and you could ride a slope multiple times before it slides. You can trigger an avalanche from below.
You can find safer travel slopes less than 35 degrees with a consistent deep snowpack and no trigger points.
