Avalanche Advisory

Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains	Issued by Brett Kobernik for Wednesday - February 1, 2017 - 6:53am

bottom line

The majority of the terrain has a LOW avalanche danger today. There is a "pockety" MODERATE avalanche danger along the more north through east facing slopes especially above 10,00' where the recent wind has been drifting snow. These won't be huge avalanches but maybe enough to cause harm if they catch you off guard.

Wind speed picked up today but good riding conditions are still abundant if you are willing to look. Drifting was occurring but I didn't note a significant bump in the avalanche danger. Mostly LOW danger with a pockety MODERATE danger along the ridges. #utavy @voilemfg
