The lee slope is not actually an aspect of an avalanche itself, but it can be a cause if an avalanche.
It is the sheltered side of a peak or slope that is not exposed to wind and sunlight. If snow accumulates here, daily freezing and thawing from contact with sunlight, as well as the action of wind that normally would blow loose snow away, will not have as great of affect in moving loose snow and keeping the snow packed with layers of ice. This snow could avalanche easily.
