Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Friday - January 27, 2017 - 6:51am
bottom line

The overall avalanche danger is LOW to MODERATE. Places where you might find trouble would be the higher ridgelines where recent cornices have formed and where recent wind drifts have formed on the steepest more east facing slopes.
current conditions

The storm snow instabilities have mostly settled out. I have not found any deeper weak layers of concern. Aside from large cornices and drifts on the very steepest more east facing slopes, the snow is mostly stable. Shallow instability has been producing on and off again snow showers over the last three days. It's added a few inches of low density snow. High daytime temperatures have been in the low teens with overnight lows down into the low single digits. Wind has been light to moderate in speed from a west northwest direction.

You will find excellent riding conditions in the majority of the terrain out there again today.
