The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline is generally LOW.
Human triggered avalanches are unlikely today but LOW danger doesn't mean NO danger.
There is always some risk of avalanches if you get into extreme terrain.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: The only thing notable this morning is that the wind speeds along the highest terrain have increased a bit from last night. Wind is from the west in the moderate speed category. Otherwise, everything is status quo; high temperatures around 40˚F, lows around 30˚F, plenty of sun, decent riding conditions if you hunt around.
Mountain Weather: Today is another repeat with mild temperatures, sun, but slightly breezier ridgetop wind from the west. There's a storm system that's going to move through tonight and Monday. The bummer is that there isn't much precipitation involved with it. Don't expect more than a trace to possibly a couple of inches of snow. At this time, weather models look dry for our area until about Christmas.

Description
There really isn't much to talk about concerning the current snowpack. The snowpack continues to slowly become weaker due to "temperature gradient metamorphism". However, it is mostly stable at this time. It will most likely become unstable once we add more layers of snow on top of it.
