Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains
Wednesday morning, January 27, 2016
The upper elevation north through southeast facing steep terrain remains dangerous with a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. Human triggered avalanches are again likely today in this terrain. With warmer temperatures, steep southerly facing slopes may become unstable and we may see some natural wet avalanches. Use careful routes and avoid the terrain described above. There is plenty of terrain out there in the mid elevations with excellent snow conditions and is also safe. Keep your slope angles under 35 degrees.
