Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Thursday, February 2, 2017

The overall avalanche danger remains generally low. Recently formed drifts are very stubborn at this point. If one were to break loose on a person, it would be at the upper elevation more east facing very steep slopes. Consider consequences if even a small wind slab were to release and push you into a gully or into trees.

Additional Information

Wind will pick up again later today from the southwest as a minor disturbance moves through perhaps producing light snow. No significant snow accumulation is anticipated. Another minor disturbance late Friday into Saturday may add a trace to a few inches of snow. A more promising storm is shaping up for Tuesday which could give us a decent shot of new snow. Weather in the high country looks fairly windy with quite mild temperatures through next week.
