Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Friday morning, February 16, 2018
The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on steep slopes above about 9500' in elevation that face northwest, north and east especially in areas that received the most new snow. High density new snow along with strong wind on top of a weak snowpack has increased the avalanche danger. This is becoming a tricky situation since you may not see obvious signs of danger such as other recent avalanches, cracking of the snowpack or collapsing of the snowpack (loud "whoomping" sounds). Human triggered avalanches are likely in the terrain mentioned above. The avalanche danger is much lower outside of this terrain.
