Human-triggered avalanches are unlikely today and the overall danger rating is LOW on the Manti Skyline. Watch out for fresh drifts that formed on Sunday. These drifts will be small and pose little threat.
Weather and SnowGeneral Conditions: Conditions were cold and windy on Sunday. Wind from a westerly direction blew pretty hard and stirred up the small amount of new snow even down into the bottoms of the canyons. Temperatures were in the single digits again overnight but are already rebounding.

I hesitate to even call this a "problem," but we did pick up a couple of inches of new snow on Saturday, and the wind blew it around on Sunday. You will most likely find fresh drifts and wind slabs scattered around in the higher terrain. I really don't think this is anything to get concerned about. Just be aware that there are small fresh drifts, and they may crack out.
