Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

PRE-SEASON UPDATE:
We've had a small amount of snow accumulate along the Manti Skyline so far this season. Much of it has melted off. Northerly facing slopes continue to hold snow. Often we worry that early snow will turn into a weak layer of sugary faceted snow and will cause avalanches once it gets buried. At this point, there is not enough on the ground to be a widespread concern. I'll update the avalanche forecasts as conditions warrant.

General Announcements
While we wait for winter to kick in, we're busy getting ready at the Utah Avalanche Center. We are changing batteries, greasing bearings, checking our safety gear, and updating the website. We have lots of avalanche education classes listed already:
It looks to me like this pattern will more or less continue for the next couple of weeks. There is a weak storm system that will graze northeast Utah this weekend. There is another small storm that looks like it will bust through the ridge of high pressure and produce a little snow about mid week next week. Otherwise, nothing to get too excited about at this point.
