Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Thursday morning, January 15, 2026

The overall avalanche danger is generally LOW. It is unlikely that a person will trigger an avalanche today. Keep in mind that LOW danger doesn't mean NO danger. If you were to find trouble, it would be along the higher ridgelines on very steep slopes where there are recent deposits of wind-drifted snow.

Weather and Snow

General Conditions: There is nothing significant to report regarding weather or snow conditions. Temperatures have been warm, and the little bit of snow that covers the hills is worn out.

Mountain Weather: Anticipate another day with high temperatures into the mid 30s. Wind from the north looks like it'll get a little breezy. Expect more of the same on Friday.
