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

The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on steep slopes that face northwest, and especially north and east. DANGEROUS human triggered avalanches are likely again today in this terrain! If you avoid the slopes mentioned, the avalanche danger is much lower and you can safely travel around.
recent activity

My partner and I intentionally dropped a cornice onto a slope below to test it. This produced two large avalanches which broke into weak sugary faceted snow near the ground. This confirms that the snowpack is still capable of producing dangerous avalanches.
