Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Saturday morning, January 22, 2022
The avalanche danger on the Manti Skyline remains generally LOW.
Human triggered slab avalanches are unlikely today although a person might be able to initiate some loose dry sluffing of the new snow in very steep terrain. This won't pose much threat.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions
Another trace to 1/2" of snow fell in the last 24 hours. Totals are 2" for the storm. This isn't much but it should improve riding conditions especially where soft snow already existed prior to the storm. Temperatures are in the low teens. Northeast wind remains light.
Mountain Weather
We are looking at about five days or more of mostly clear skies, daytime high temperatures in the mid to upper 20s and light wind. Looking at the long range, the next storm is shaping up for around the 2nd of February.

Description
Two inches of snow with light wind speed isn't enough of a weather event to change the avalanche conditions. Despite relatively LOW avalanche danger, continue to follow protocols by only putting one person on a steep slope at a time and don't regroup right at the bottom of steep slopes.
