You could trigger an avalanche where winds drifted snow into cohesive slabs. The most likely places to find these slabs are steep, cross-loaded terrain features at upper elevations. Wind-drifted snow often feels stiff or has a wave-like appearance. Lower elevation, wind-sheltered terrain offers safer travel options.
