Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Wednesday morning, January 20, 2016

This prolonged period of windy conditions has made things dangerous in the higher terrain. A CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger exists on the higher north through southeast facing terrain. Enough snow has been wind transported to make it possible to trigger an avalanche to the ground again. Slopes that avalanched during the Christmas natural avalanche cycle are suspect as well. Out of the higher terrain where the wind has been blowing the avalanche danger is LOW to MODERATE.

Moderate
Considerable

Here's a video of a snowmobile triggered avalanche near the Ant Knolls in the Provo Region which happened on Sunday. This area has similar snowpack structure to what we see in much of our terrain here on the Manti-Skyline.
