Skyline
Lawinengefahr
- Hochgebirge
- Waldgrenze
- Unterhalb der Waldgrenze
Kernpunkte
Overall, the avalanche danger rating on the Skyline is LOW.
Human triggered avalanches are unlikely.
Continue to avoid being on or below large cornices. Also avoid the steepest upper elevation slopes that have recent deposits of wind drifted snow. If you do these two things, there is very little chance you'll trigger an avalanche.
Special Announcement
We are putting on a Backcountry 101 avalanche class for motorized users next week, February 17 & 18. We will do online presentations on Friday evening and a full day out in the mountains on Saturday.

Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: Soft, settled powder can still be found in sheltered areas. Temperatures on Saturday were in the upper 20s to low 30s. They dipped back into the mid teens in the canyon bottoms and mid 20s along the higher terrain. Wind from the south was light to moderate in speed on Saturday and has slowed overnight.
Mountain Weather: We have a couple of lovely sunny days in store before a storm system moves in on Tuesday. We'll see temperatures into the mid 30s. Wind will be light and variable in direction today. It will increase a bit from the southwest on Monday. The next storm is a Southern Utah storm, but we should still get a decent shot of snow here in Central Utah. As of this morning, I think we could see 6 to 8 inches of new snow by Thursday morning.
