Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Monday morning, December 7, 2015

The avalanche danger in most areas is LOW today. Watch for scattered wind drifts on the higher more east facing terrain which may still crack out. The avalanche danger will remain generally LOW for the next several days. Anticipate the avalanche danger to rise starting Friday as a series of storms moves through which may produce a good shot of snow.

Description

A bump in wind speeds on Sunday may have formed some more fresh drifts along the upper elevation ridges and terrain features. Watch for wind drifts along the east facing terrain. These won't pose a huge threat for the most part but could knock you down and push you into rocks or trees.
