Well, the best thing you can do is to hike up one of those sick looking chutes that have been conveniently cleared away for you despite trees on either side. Super safe and makes for a great run!
But seriously, don't do that. EVER. There is a good chance you could die.

here're a few tips for backcountry safety:
-avalanche safety gear is a waste of money, just strap some bacon to your thighs and the avy dogs will smell it
-touring gear is a waste of money, just hike in zigzags directly up the middle of what you plan on skiing down
-trees are not natural anchors, stick to open faces because they're more gnar
-a lot of times your friends won't have time to go with you, fuck em, go alone. it'll be more fun not having a bunch of clowns holding you back
-the avalanche danger scale is backwards so that gapers don't track up all the gnar pow, so when it says high, it's actually skier code for low
-if you're headed into the bc and a storm is coming, it just means free refills, keep going
-if caught in a slide, dig down as far as you can go and you'll eventually hit china...it's the only hope of survival
-if you're standing on top of a cornice, jump up and down a bunch of times as close to the edge as possible so you can check the durability
-try to ski when ski patrol is bombing the hills, it's like playing tanks, they try to hit you, you evade them
-instead of bringing a probe, bring a very sharp spear and jam it into the snow where your friend is...it'll get through faster and potentially save his life
-sporks work better than avy shovels, but make sure the spork is metal
