Kernpunkte

The avalanche danger is generally LOW on the Manti Skyline. The new snow itself from Saturday is stable. Fresh drifts formed from along the upper ridgelines during a windy period Saturday night. These drifts and slabs could be sensitive in isolated areas, especially on steep east facing slopes. Look for drifts and slabs in the higher terrain and avoid them if they are on steep slopes.

    Drifts that formed on Saturday night are really the only thing you need to look out for today. For the most part, these drifts are stubborn and don't want to crack. However, in some isolated locations, they are sitting on top of old, weak faceted snow. These are the most likely places to find trouble. The problem is that you can't tell whether a drift is sitting on old facets just by looking at it. So, it is best just to avoid drifts that have formed on steep slopes. These are mainly found on upper elevation slopes that face east and are most pronounced right along the ridges.

Snow and Weather

General Conditions: It was a gorgeous winter day in the mountains on Monday with temperatures in the upper teens and light west wind. The new snow quality was quite good. Too bad there wasn't much old snow for it to land on. Total depths remain quite thin and there really isn't enough snow for any real winter recreation yet. Wind really slowed down overnight and is calm in many locations. Temperatures are in the teens with some colder readings in the canyon bottoms.

Mountain Weather: We are under a ridge of high pressure for the next few days and then a storm may move through Thursday. Today, expect mostly clear skies, temperatures up around 30 or a bit warmer, and light to moderate speed wind from the north. Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be quite warm with temperatures pushing 40°F. A small storm moves through Thursday which could bring a few inches of snow.
