Highlights
The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.
Keep in mind that LOW danger does NOT mean NO danger. There are always inherent risks when traveling in the backcountry especially if you are getting into big committing lines.
Scattered shallow wind slabs could catch a person off guard. If you are in terrain with serious consequences like rocks/cliffs/trees below you, this could be bad news.
