The overall avalanche danger is LOW on the Skyline today.
There is still a pockety MODERATE danger in the higher elevation north through east facing terrain where cornices and scattered wind drifts are present.
Human triggered avalanches are possible but not all that likely.
Recent Activity
There was one small slab avalanche triggered by a snowmachine in Ephraim Canyon late Friday. The rider was reportedly not caught. It was on a steep road cut that faces west. It became damp and unstable from daytime heating. MORE DETAILS HERE Photo: Jayson Albee
Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: Temperatures stayed relatively cold on Friday and dropped into the single digits to low teens overnight. Wind has been from the east with light to moderate speeds. Sunny facing slopes have a melt-freeze crust. Soft dense powder can be found on higher elevation northerly facing slopes.
Mountain Weather: We'll have sunny skies this morning with the chance for some clouds moving in later today. Temperatures will get into the mid to upper 20s. Wind will be from the southeast with moderate speeds along the higher terrain. Sunday looks mostly cloudy with warmer temperatures. I hope you got out and enjoyed the recent days of sunny weather because starting Monday we go back into a very active weather pattern with periods of snow through the next couple of weeks.
