You can trigger a slab avalanche where you find stiff wind-drifted snow. Look below ridgelines or in gullies. You are most likely to trigger an avalanche near the edges of a slab, where the stiff snow thins. Expect to push loose avalanches on very steep slopes covered in soft, weak snow at lower elevations.
