The most likely place to trigger an avalanche is on an open, recently wind-drifted slope directly below ridgetop. Recently, strong westerly winds built thick slabs over collapsible weak layers on north through east-facing slopes. Avoid steep wind-drifted slopes and other steep slopes where you observed obvious signs of instability, like shooting cracks and sounds of the snowpack collapsing.
