Kernpunkte

The avalanche danger rating for the Skyline is MODERATE.

Human triggered avalanches are possible but not very likely.

Places you may trigger something are on very steep slopes that face northwest through east especially right along and below ridgelines where recent deposits of wind drifted snow are present.

    The small pocket triggered in Ferron Canyon on Friday demonstrates that there are still a few areas where a person could trigger a recently formed wind slab. Continue to use caution on steep north through east facing slopes that have been wind-loaded. Most slopes will stay in place but a few may still crack out. This makes things a little tricky.

Recent Activity

There was another small snowmobile triggered avalanche reported on Friday that happened near Ferron Reservoir. It was on an east facing slope that was 37˚ steep at about 10,500'. It was about 2 feet deep and 50 feet wide and ran 300'. Two riders were caught and carried but not buried or injured.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: Temperatures have been cool with highs on Friday in the teens to around 20˚F. They dropped into the single digits overnight and even below zero in some canyon bottoms. There was a light to moderate breeze from the northwest along the ridges on Friday. Speeds have slowed this morning. Riding conditions remain pretty decent.

Mountain Weather: We'll see sun and high temperatures into the low 30s today. Wind will generally be light from the south increasing just a bit later on. Sunday looks similar with slightly warmer temperatures. Unsettled weather moves back in on Monday with the chance for snow then a better looking storm is shaping up for mid week.
