Wind loaded slopes are some of the most dangerous terrain you will find in avalanche country. These depositions are the likely location of slab formations, the most deadly form of slide. Learning to recognize lee slopes that are prone to wind loading is a valuable skill for BC travelers. Knowing the prevailing wind direction is a good place to start. Looking for current wind and blowing snow is important as well.
Avalanches occur in the same places over and over.
Remember though, lack of these signs does not mean that a given slope is safe. Be extremely wary of gullies and canyons. Often small side gullies in a canyon can slide, trapping the unwary in a really bad way, or the main gully can release above, leaving you nowhere to go. These areas should be considered terrain traps and are to be avoided whenever avy danger is high. Most fatal avalanches are triggered by the victim.
