You can trigger an avalanche on northwest through north to east-facing slopes near and above treeline. The chances of triggering one of these avalanches are decreasing, but if you find the right steep slope with a cohesive slab resting on weak snow near the ground, you can still trigger an avalanche that could grow large enough to bury you. If you choose to travel on steep slopes that face these aspects of concern, choose slopes without dangerous terrain traps, such as cliffs, creeks, or gullies beneath them, where even a small avalanche can become dangerous.
