In sintesi

The majority of the terrain along the Skyline has a LOW to MODERATE avalanche danger. Keep in mind that the conditions are more dangerous on slopes approaching 40 degrees in steepness on northwest, north and northeast facing slopes where there is old weak snow present on the ground from October.

    It's fairly unlikely but still possible that a person might find a place to trigger an avalanche in the upper elevation more northerly facing terrain. The persistent weak layer of sugary faceted snow on the ground is still present and may cause problems when we get a significant snow storm.

    The surface snow is now becoming loose in some areas. I will be keeping a close eye on this as it could turn into another weak layer within our snowpack once it's buried. It's unclear at this time if it will become an issue but it's something to watch during this period of dry weather.

Recent Activity

There was a minor amount of avalanche activity during the wind event on Wednesday. For the most part it consisted of small pockets that released near the ridgelines. Photo: John Pikus Full Backcountry Observation HERE

Snow and Weather

Riding conditions remain fairly decent despite some stronger east wind on Wednesday.

We will have mild weather through the weekend with lots of sun today and Saturday then more clouds moving in on Sunday. Temperatures along the upper ridges will get into the low 30s. Southwest wind will start to increase as the weekend progresses. The next chance for snow is around Christmas and the storm is currently looking a bit better for snow than a couple days ago.
