Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Sunday, March 19, 2023
The overall avalanche danger is LOW on the Skyline today.
Human triggered avalanches are not all that likely today.
Continue to avoid being on or below large cornices and also avoid steep slopes with obvious wind drifts and wind slabs.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: Saturday was another great day to be up in the mountains with pleasant temperatures and good riding conditions. You'll find melt-freeze crusts out there in the lower elevations as well as on all sunny facing slopes. Overnight temperatures dropped into the teens. Wind has been from the south with light speeds.
Mountain Weather: We'll have cloudy skies today with temperatures around 30˚F and light wind from the south. Hang on though as a period of stormy weather moves in tonight and lasts through the week which will potentially bring feet of snow to the mountains. It starts tonight with the first wave lasting through Monday which should bring 7 to 10 inches of snow.

Description
Things are quiet in the backcountry right now and there's not much to talk about.
Cornices are huge and there are some large wind drifts and slabs along the higher ridges. I've been avoiding steep slopes where those things are present.
