Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Thursday, January 7, 2016

The overall avalanche danger is MODERATE. Human triggered avalanches are possible from recent wind loads and or deep weak layers failing in shallow snowpack areas. Accurate snowpack analysis and terrain selection are crucial. The avalanche danger is less in the mid and lower elevations. Watch for minor new snow avalanche activity in the high terrain.

WE MAY GET ENOUGH SNOW OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO INCREASE THE AVALANCHE DANGER. STAY TUNED!
