You can trigger avalanches that might grow large enough to bury you on steep slopes facing northerly directions. New snow from last week's storm built a thick slab on top of old, weak snow from earlier in November. To reduce your chances of triggering an avalanche avoid traveling on or directly under slopes steeper than about 30 degrees on west through north to east, facing aspects.
