Kernpunkte

For the most part, avalanche conditions are quiet right now on the Skyline and the majority of the terrain has a LOW avalanche danger rating. There is a "pockety" MODERATE danger rating in the upper elevation more east facing terrain where some fresh wind drifts formed during the last storm. This is not a huge threat but don't be surprised if you're up monkeying around up on steep leeward facing and one of these small drifts cracks out.

    Fresh drifts that formed on Saturday may still be sensitive to people today. For the most part you'll find these right along and just below the ridgelines on more east facing terrain. They'll be fairly localized and not all that large. Because of the shallow snow which makes for very difficult travel, it is unlikely that the average backcountry traveler will find themselves in terrain where they could trigger one of these drifts. However, I see people get into odd places so if you're one of those people, keep these fresh drifts in mind.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: The storm on Saturday wasn't a total bust but almost. I was expecting at least 6 inches out of this and thought that was conservative but it looks like we only picked up about 3 inches of high density snow. It was breezy during the storm but wind from the west has slowed down in the low and mid elevations. It's still a little breezy along the highest peaks. Temperatures are around 20˚ F. There really isn't enough snow for serious winter recreation yet. There's enough to scoot around on most mountain roads with a snowmobile. There's not really enough to do much skiing or snowboarding.

Mountain Weather: This morning's clear skies will yield to clouds as the day goes on. Wind from the west northwest will be moderate in speed. Temperatures are going to get into the low 30s. I hate to say it but the extended outlook looks horrible for snow. It appears we are going to go into an extended period of very warm weather for this time of the season. We'll see mountain temperatures into the 40s by later this week. As of now, this pattern looks like it'll persist through mid month.
