Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

The avalanche danger continues to decrease. The majority of the terrain on the Skyline has a LOW avalanche danger. There is a minor chance you could still trigger a slide that breaks into old weak snow near the ground. Most likely places are high elevation very steep slopes that face NW, N, NE, and E.

Weather and Snow

General Conditions: There is not much to report about snow or weather conditions. Temperatures have been warm. Northerly wind has been a bit breezy along the higher peaks but slow in the lower terrain. Riding conditions are nothing to write home about.

Mountain Weather: Stagnant weather will continue with high temperatures again into the mid to upper 30s. Wind from the north will be light to moderate in speed today. No storms are in sight.

Description

At this point, the snowpack is mostly stable. There are areas with weak snow around, but there just isn't anything stressing them right now. Things are limp. Continue to use caution along the higher terrain where obvious drifts have formed. This would be about the only place I can think of where a person could crack something out.
