Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Monday morning, February 15, 2016

Like a broken record.... Most terrain has a LOW avalanche danger. Slopes approaching 40 degrees in steepness that face north, north east and east AND have already avalanched this season have a MODERATE danger. There are a number of slopes that I can think of that avalanched in December and are now loaded back in, waiting for a trigger like someone climbing them with a sled.

Low
Moderate
Considerable
High
Extreme
