Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Tuesday - March 13, 2018 - 6:50am
bottom line

The majority of the terrain along the Skyline has a LOW to MODERATE avalanche danger. Human triggered avalanches that break to the ground are still possible in the upper elevation northwest and especially north and east facing steep slopes where a CONSIDERABLE danger still exists.
recent activity

I received a report of a close call with a snowmobile triggered avalanche on Saturday in the Gooseberry area north of the top of Fairview Canyon. It was reported as very wide and broke to the ground. I'll have more details later today.
