Before temperatures began cooling off, low elevation snow quickly stacked up overnight, insulating yesterday's warm snow surface. This springtime avalanche problem will heal as temperatures cool, but it's gonna take a minute or two. In the mean-time you'll need to be on your toes in mid and lower elevation terrain. Be aware that once triggered, even a small slide can fan out, entraining more snow as it slowly descends a steep slope, eventually conspiring against us to pile up cement-like, bone snapping avalanche debris (like in the image above). Putting it all together, you'll want to think about your travel plans and remember to avoid terrain traps like gullies and road cuts where avalanche debris can stack up very deeply.
