Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains
Friday morning, January 13, 2017
The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE today. Natural avalanches are not expected but human triggered avalanches are likely. It is wise to ease slowly into steeper terrain after big snow events like we just had. Stability should improve fairly quickly but some more investigation needs to be done to determine that. Stick to lower angle terrain until we get a handle on how much avalanche activity happened during the storm and how sensitive things still are.
Special Announcements
Huntington Canyon is currently closed. Avalanche reduction work with explosives will be conducted this morning and the road will open after the work is done and the snow has been cleared. We will share the results of the explosive work on the website later today.
