Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Wednesday morning, March 23, 2016

The avalanche danger is MODERATE in the higher terrain especially along the ridges where you'll find recent fresh drifts of wind blown snow. Avalanches won't be huge if you trigger one today but consider consequences if you should get caught and "bossed around". Use small and steep test slopes to get a feel of how the new snow is reacting before getting into the bigger terrain.

You'll find 4 to 7 inches total new snow up in the hills from yesterday's storm. Things were somewhat sensitive during the storm but should be more stubborn today.
