Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Monday morning, January 30, 2017

The majority of the terrain has a LOW avalanche danger today. If you hit enough very steep slopes that face east in the high terrain you may be able to get a pocket to release. Continue to follow safe protocol by only putting one rider on a steep slope at a time. Keep close track of where your partners are.

Weather and Snow

High temperatures on Sunday were in the low 40s for a short period of time. There was some "rollerballing" or "pinwheeling" from the sunny slopes becoming damp but I did not see any significant avalanche activity. You'll find that these sunny slopes now have a sun crust. Excellent powder still remains on the more northerly facing slopes.
