Backcountry Touring on a high-risk avalanche day: Should it even be done?

Last week was pretty intense. We headed out to a 10th Mountain Division Hut right as we were getting a huge storm in Colorado. What was already an unstable snowpack became extremely dangerous as another foot of snow fell. It was beautiful and we all wanted to get outside and explore, but we were also cautious and nervous of just how likely an avalanche could be triggered.
