Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Monday, February 22, 2016

Despite not much snow available on the surface for transporting due to sun crusts, the wind always seems to find a way to drift snow. Northwest wind speeds will increase during the day today which will also increase the avalanche danger slightly. A MODERATE danger still exists in the high north through east facing steep slopes which have already avalanched earlier this season and are now filled back in. Avalanches breaking to the ground are still a concern. You may find some other scattered shallow wind drifts along the higher ridgelines on northwest through southeast facing slopes.
