Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Monday - December 12, 2016 - 7:04am
bottom line

There remains a MODERATE avalanche danger along the highest ridges and peaks where a snow drift formed by the recent winds may still release with the weight of a person. Avoid steep slopes in the high terrain facing north through southeast that have a rippled, "pillowy", or textured look to them. Out of the wind affected snow, the danger is generally LOW.

Please join us at Big Pine Sports for an avalanche presentation on Thursday, Dec 15th at 6:30pm. I will be talking about the current conditions and sharing tips on how to stay out of avalanches. I'll cover anything else avalanche related the audience is interested in.
