Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Thursday morning, January 14, 2016

The overall avalanche danger is MODERATE today. Diligently look for fresh drifts on a variety of aspects especially around ridges and terrain features. Human triggered avalanches are likely but probably won't be all that large. THE AVALANCHE DANGER WILL INCREASE AS WE ADD MORE NEW SNOW TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY.

Weather and Snow

We have enjoyed a period of fairly stable snow recently. There is enough weak snow around on the surface as well as deeper in the pack that we'll need to notch things back a bit as the next series of storms roll through.
