You could trigger avalanches where you find cohesive slabs of snow sitting on top of weak snow, especially in areas of wind-drifted snow at upper elevations. The most dangerous slopes face northeast through east. Drifted snow often feels stiff and may crack under your weight. If you feel collapsing or cracking, you can choose safer terrain by moving to slopes less than about 35 degrees in steepness.
