You could trigger an avalanche where you find more than about eight inches of drifted snow. Use caution around textured, rounded pillows of snow. Before triggering one of these slides, you may not see any unstable snow, like cracking or collapsing. Multiple people could ride a slope before you trigger a large avalanche; these avalanches might break wider and run further than anticipated. You can stick to lower-angled terrain to help reduce your avalanche risk.
