Solar warming was in full effect on south facing terrain and was impacting the new snow on southerly aspects as early as 0930. This minor avalanche released as I stopped above a small rollover to assess the shallow snowpack and rocks. While some small rollerballs were anticipated, this small mass of snow ran much farther and cohesively than I would have thought in current conditions.
