Skyline

The Manti Skyline has a generally stable snowpack, with an overall LOW avalanche danger. Shallowly-buried obstacles are our biggest safety concern today.

General Conditions: Nothing new to write home about as we continue into week two of clear weather (high pressure). Avalanche danger is generally LOW, and shallowly-buried rocks, logs, stumps, etc. continue to be a bigger safety concern than avalanches. Average snow depths are 2 feet in most high elevation terrain, with favored spots reaching close to 3 feet. Brett, Lara, and myself rode near Miller Flat to Potter's yesterday, and headed up to Spring City Canyon on Tuesday. Winds have generally have been light to calm since Monday, and overnight mountain temperatures were in the 20s F.

Mountain Weather: Mountain temperatures will reach into the low to mid 30s F today, with many high locations staying just below freezing. Cloud cover will build to mostly cloudy throughout the day, as light winds from the West will slightly increase into the evening due to a split storm system drifting to our south. This system will blow in later this evening into tomorrow. While it won't mean much in terms of snow for us, expect cooler temperatures, increased cloud cover, and the potential for some wind.

Kowboy reminding us to be on the lookout for rogue stumps and rocks to protect our machines' A-arms in Seeley Canyon yesterday.
