Highlights
The overall avalanche danger rating for the Skyline is LOW.
There is a "pockety" MODERATE avalanche danger on steep upper elevation slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow.
Human triggered avalanches are possible but not all that likely.
The most likely place to trigger something is on steep upper elevation slopes with recent deposits of wind drifted snow, especially on more west facing slopes.

Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: I was pleasantly surprised to find a good amount of excellent riding conditions on Saturday. It was in sheltered terrain on the east side of the Skyline. There is extensive wind damage across the higher terrain. Skies remained mostly cloudy on Saturday with light snowfall happening on the east side of the range. Temperatures stayed in the upper 20s and are in the mid 20s this morning. The wind slowed on Saturday and is generally light to moderate in speed this morning.
Mountain Weather: We should see the clouds start to break today. Temperatures are going to get into the mid to upper 30s. Wind will still be from the east with light to moderate speeds. We'll see a significant warming trend through the week with temperatures getting into the 40s most days. Weather models continue to suggest an active pattern with storms from the 24th through the end of the month.
