The majority of the terrain along the Skyline has a LOW avalanche danger. There is a MODERATE avalanche danger on steep slopes above 9500' that face northwest, north and northeast. Small human triggered avalanches breaking into old snow near the ground are possible.

Weather and Snow
Early snow from October and November has turned into loose faceted snow on the upper elevation high northerly facing slopes. This is cause for concern with future storms which will add weight in the form of new snow on top of the weak old snow.

Weather Outlook: The series of storms is still on track to move through starting tonight and lasting through Sunday. The most favorable timing for snowfall looks like during the Friday period. After it's all said and done I'm expecting 1 to 2 feet of new snow.
