The Manti-Skyline advisory program continues to function because of the very generous contributions you've made at our annual fundraisers along with the support from our non-profit Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center. Thanks to all of you for helping keep this vital resource up and running! We will be updating this weekend advisory by 7:0 AM each Saturday morning.
Skies are clear with temperatures in the low 30's. West and southwest winds began ramping up around 2:00 this morning and have been steadily blowing 15-25 mph along the high ridges. Last weekends rain at lower elevations and a recent bout of warm temperatures has had it's way with our snowpack. The Skyline remains thin and riding conditions are hit and miss, though soft settled powder can be found in upper elevation, wind sheltered, shady terrain.
Steve and Darce were out on the Skyline Summit yesterday and posted this great observation. We're having some issues on our end with the video, so you'll need to cut and paste into another browser.
Low angle slopes near the summit offer the best coverage this weekend.
Overall though a lot of our terrain remains thin and rocky.
No avalanche activity to report though Steve did get a slope to collapse yesterday on his second lap up the hill.
