Skyline
Avalanche danger
- Alpine
- Treeline
- Below treeline
Highlights
The danger is MODERATE. Small human triggered avalanches are possible especially where fresh drifts have formed. The most likely spots would be upper elevation very steep slopes that face west, north and east.
KEEP IN MIND: The snowpack on the Skyline is very weak and avalanche conditions are bound to get dangerous if we see a change in the weather pattern with snow storms moving through.
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: The east wind has slowed down and shifted direction to the southwest. Overnight temperatures were around 20˚F.
Mountain Weather: It'll be a quiet day today with plenty of sun and highs in the upper 20s. Wind will be light to moderate in speed from the southwest. Thursday looks similar then we should see snow starting Friday and lingering through the weekend. I'm having trouble counting on weather model data because of how fickle they've been. As of now, I'm predicting 4 to 7 inches of snow by Sunday.
