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
Wow. Same story, different day. Overnight temperatures were warmer up on the peaks than down in the valleys and canyons. Temps are around 30˚F on the peaks and teens in lower locations. The wind is almost calm even along the more exposed terrain. The snow surface is loose sugary "near surface facets" making for nice riding in many areas. You'll also find sun and wind crusts scattered about.
Mountain Weather
It's another sunny day with temperatures getting into the mid to upper 30s in the higher terrain and calm to light wind. Sunday and Monday look very similar. A storm that is shaping up for mid week looks less impressive for our region than it did on Friday morning when I looked at weather models. Originally I was hopeful for about 8 inches of new snow. Now it's looking like only a few inches. Maybe things will change over the next few days.
