Skyline

The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.

Keep in mind that if you are getting onto very steep slopes, there's a chance that you might trigger a small wind drift near the ridgelines.

Sluffing of the surface snow should also be taken into account if you are on steep, long and sustained slopes.

Outside of some minor sluffing of the "near surface facets", there hasn't been any significant avalanche activity. Don't disregard the sluffing though. If you are getting into really steep terrain (40˚ or so) and you have a long, sustained pitch, these minor sluffs can grow as they descend and start to pack a punch. John Pikus did an excellent write up about a sluff he triggered that got large enough to boss him around. CLICK HERE FOR THE REPORT.

Current Conditions

Saturday was another nice day in the hills with sun and a light breeze from the northwest. Riding conditions really need a refresher about now. It's getting harder to find areas with soft snow for good turning. Overnight temperatures were around 20 and the wind is generally light.

Mountain Weather

We'll see lots of sun again today with temperatures once again into the mid 30s. Wind will be from the west and perhaps a little lighter than it has been this week. Weather models are still showing a change in the pattern with storms starting to move through again starting mid week. The first one still looks like a "closed low pressure system" that will dig to our south. It's not ideal for us but we should see some snow out of it. A number of storms are still shaping up behind this first one and it looks like we should get some moisture through the end of the month.
