Avalanche danger

- Treeline
- Below treeline
Highlights
The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.
There are two minor things to consider if you are getting into really steep terrain:
- The surface snow will sluff when disturbed.
- A person can get small wind drifts to crack out.
These issues don't pose much threat, just keep them in mind if you are in steep and or exposed terrain.

Snow and Weather
Current Conditions
No big change in conditions recently. Dense powder remains on the north half of the compass. Southerly facing slopes have a sun crust. Overnight temperatures were in the mid teens. Northwest wind has been moderate in speed along the higher terrain over the last day. I looks like it has slowed over the last few hours.
Mountain Weather
A weak weather disturbance is moving through this morning which may produce light snowfall. No real accumulations are expected. It'll be cloudy with daytime high temperatures in the low 20s. North wind should remain fairly light. It looks like high pressure returns for the next week. Weather models are indicating a change in pattern with storms starting to move through starting around Feb 3rd.
