Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains
Monday morning, January 15, 2018
Chances of triggering an avalanche are decreasing as more time since the last storm passes. However, the avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE on the steep west, north and east facing slopes above around 9000' or so. Buried faceted (sugar) snow is nothing to toy with and will often cause avalanches long after we think it can.
Special Announcements

Weather and Snow
It was another pleasant day in the mountains on Sunday with mild temperatures and light wind. Riding conditions remain good in settled powder on the shady aspects. Unfortunately, this is where you can still find avalanche trouble. Continue to keep your slope angles low if you are in the upper elevation more northerly facing terrain. If you experience collapsing or cracking of the snowpack, this is mother nature warning you about avalanche danger.
