Aspen

You can find dangerous slopes lurking at higher elevations, or on some wind-drifted terrain lower on the mountainsides. You could trigger a deadly slab avalanche if you find the wrong spot on the wrong steep slope. Changing wind directions in the last 24 hours may make snow surface cues unreliable. Recently drifted snow may obscure buried trigger points like rocks or areas with a thinner, weaker snowpack on the sides of stiffer slabs. The simple solution is to choose wind-sheltered areas, or slopes less steep than about 35 degrees.
