Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Friday morning, January 16, 2026

Things are quiet and the overall avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline is LOW. Continue to use caution in the higher terrain on steep slopes with recent deposits of wind-drifted snow. This is about the only place that a person could get something to crack out.

Weather and Snow

General Conditions: Nothing new to report. The snowpack remains very shallow for this time of the season. Perhaps unlike anything I've seen before. Temperatures have been warm with daytime highs in the mid to upper 30s. Wind has been from the north for most of the week with some breezy periods.

Mountain Weather: Temperatures will again get into the mid to upper 30s. Wind will be light to moderate from the northwest. There are still no storms in sight.
