You can trigger small avalanches in newly formed wind-drifted snow. Work around isolated pockets of firm, smooth snow. There is a slight chance these break on weak layers buried deeply in the snowpack on steep, unsupported, northerly terrain. Where you find an utterly cohesionless snowpack on northerly aspects, you could trigger a loose avalanche that could be problematic above a cliff or gully.
