Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains
Friday morning, January 15, 2016
THE AVALANCHE DANGER WILL BE INCREASING DURING THE DAY TODAY. It is mostly MODERATE this morning but may reach CONSIDERABLE in the upper elevation north through southeast facing terrain if we get the expected snow and wind. Wind will be drifting snow and making sensitive wind slabs. Watch for cracking as you travel which is a clue to these sensitive drifts.
Weather and Snow
It's been slightly gusty along the ridges and will remain so during the storm today. There is about 4 inches of new snow as of 7am. The surface that this new snow is falling on became very loose in many areas since last weekend. This old snow surface may act as a weak layer under the new snow.
