Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains
Tuesday morning, February 13, 2018
Once again, the small amount of new snow won't have changed the avalanche danger much and the majority of the terrain has a LOW danger. Because of buried weak snow near the ground and because we keep adding small amounts of new snow on top of it, there is a MODERATE danger that slopes steeper than 35˚ above 9500' that face west, north and east could be triggered by a person and avalanche. I continue to avoid many large avalanche paths because I don't trust the weak snow near the ground.
Weather and Snow
The Skyline received about 3" of new snow on Monday morning. It originally looked like we might get a few more overnight but that did not materialize. The wind is very light with many stations reading and east direction. Mountain temperatures are around 20˚F.
