Kernpunkte

There is an overall LOW avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline.

Keep in mind "LOW" danger doesn't mean "NO" danger.

If you are pushing the limits into lots of steep, radical northerly facing terrain, you are much more likely to find trouble.

    There is not much going on within the snowpack right now that warrants much discussion. The old weak snow from October which was acting as a Persistent Weak Layer appears to be dormant at this time. The snow surface is becoming somewhat loose in some locations on west, north and east facing slopes. This is something that I'll be keeping an eye on before we bury it with new snow as it could act as a weak layer once buried. Time will tell.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions

Surprisingly, decent riding condition can still be found despite over a week with no new snow. Southerly facing slopes have a variety of sun crusts. Northerly facing terrain still holds dense creamy soft snow. Highs on Thursday were into the mid 30s again and overnight lows were in the mid 20s. Southwest wind speeds bumped up slightly along the highest terrain but generally remain fairly light in most locations.

Mountain Weather

We'll start seeing a slight change in weather patterns this week with some clouds and cooler temperatures moving in. Today anticipate mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures around 30 along the ridgelines. West southwest wind should stay fairly light. Wednesday looks similar with slightly cooler temperatures. A small storm is shaping up for Friday although it looks like it'll probably only be good for a minor amount of new snow.
