Lo esencial
The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.
Sluffing of the surface snow should be anticipated on any steep slope that has soft snow on the surface. The sluffs are starting to get a bit larger and are entraining more snow as they descend.
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions
The snow surface has become so loose that it is actually starting to be somewhat remarkable. "Near Surface Faceting" has turned the top 4 to 8 inches of snow into fine grained sugary crystals on slopes where sun crusts and wind crusts don't exist. West wind has picked up in speed and mixed out the air temperatures this morning. Most mountain stations are in the mid 20s.
Mountain Weather
We'll see a few clouds today with high temperatures in the upper 20s. West wind is going to be a bit gusty along the higher terrain. We'll see more clouds Tuesday and Wednesday with colder air moving in and minor snowfall on Wednesday that doesn't look like it'll add up to anything. I hate to say it but the long range outlook doesn't look good and I don't really see any significant storms in sight over the next two weeks.
