In sintesi
The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.
Human triggered slab avalanches are unlikely today.
The surface snow will sluff on very steep slopes but won't cause much danger as long as you are aware of it.

Snow and Weather
Current Conditions
Soft powder remains in many places on the north half of the compass. It's a mix of a few inches of newer snow from Thursday and Friday with some "near surface facets" under that. I noted that I could initiate sluffing of the loose surface snow on steep slopes during fieldwork on Sunday. Overnight temperatures were once again inverted with valley bottoms in the teens and higher terrain in the mid 20s. Northwest wind has picked up along the higher ridges but doesn't look like it is getting down into the canyons too much.
Mountain Weather
We have another sunny day on tap with daytime high temperatures in the upper 20s. Northwest wind may feel a bit breezy along higher exposed terrain. A minor weather disturbance will move through tonight and possibly bring a trace to an inch of new snow. High pressure builds back in through the weekend with more mild weather in store.
