  The most likely avalanche problem you'll see today will be wet avalanche activity within the new snow. This probably won't pose much threat to people unless you are sitting in a confined place like in a steep gully or ravine with a large steep slope above you. Roller balls or pinwheels often start to come down before the snow gets really unstable. East and south facing slopes are the most likely to become wet to the point of being unstable. Clouds should move in this afternoon before west facing slopes heat up too much.

  The central portion of the Skyline that received the most snow is where this actually might be an issue to watch out for.

  Triggering an avalanche that breaks into weak snow near the ground is still a concern but the chances are getting pretty slim as warm spring weather helps consolidate the mid and upper layers of the snowpack. However, the weight from the recent storm will stress the snowpack to a certain extent. This was not a huge load so I really don't think it will make that much difference but continue to pay attention if you experience any collapsing or "whoomping" of the snowpack. This is a sure sign that you are in an areas with unstable snow.
