Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Tuesday - February 13, 2018 - 6:54am
bottom line

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.
current conditions

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.
