Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Sunday morning, February 4, 2018

The majority of the terrain along the Skyline has a LOW avalanche danger. There is still a "spotty" chance that a person could trigger a pocket in the higher northwest through east facing slopes steeper than 35 degrees. There is a scattered "MODERATE" avalanche danger in this terrain. The reality is that you are safe from avalanches in most places. Hitting rocks and stumps in the shallow snowpack is actually a bigger concern right now.

Weather and Snow

Despite quite windy conditions over the last week, avalanche conditions have not changed much. Places where a person might be able to trigger an avalanche are not very accessible due to shallow snow conditions.
