You should have a heightened degree of caution on high-elevation northerly and east-facing slopes. Avoid thicker-rounded pillows of hollow snow that may indicate previous wind-loading and more hazardous snow. The avalanche you trigger could still be dangerous in steep, consequential terrain or above a gully. Wind-sheltered and southerly slopes offer the safest travel.
