Dangerous and unusual avalanche conditions exist. You can easily trigger an avalanche that will grow large enough to bury you. You can trigger them from a distance, so be aware of steep slopes above you and other parties nearby. Although you will likely experience signs of instability, such as cracking and collapsing in the snow, don't think a lack of these signs means a slope is safe. You may find safer terrain on south and southwest-facing slopes, but the easiest way to increase your safety margins is to avoid traveling on or underneath slopes steeper than about 30 degrees on aspects of concern, especially near and above treeline.
