Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Overall, the avalanche danger is generally LOW in the majority of the terrain along the Skyline. A MODERATE danger exists along the higher elevation steep slopes where a lingering wind drift may still be sensitive to a person. These may be somewhat tough to spot since they'll be covered up with the new snow from the New Year's storm. Conditions will continue to become more stable through the week and while it's unlikely, human triggered avalanches are still possible along the higher steep ridgelines.
