It is possible to trigger an avalanche in areas where fresh slabs of wind drifted snow overly weak, sugary snow underneath. Fresh wind drifts are recognizable by their smooth, rounded appearance and cracking is sign of instability. Avoid steep, wind drifted slopes and areas of greatest deposition such as the leeward sides of ridge crests and terrain features including gully walls and sub-ridges.
