Recent AvalanchesThere have been a number of snowmobile triggered avalanches on the Skyline over the weekend. Some of them involve older weak faceted snow which is a persistent weakness and could still cause avalanches during this week. Areas that had a very shallow snowpack prior to our last storm are the most suspect especially more east and northeast facing slopes where the wind has drifted the new snow in deep.
