Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Wednesday morning, March 25, 2020
Overall the avalanche danger is generally LOW. However, with increased wind overnight, there may be some fresh drifts that have formed in the higher more east facing terrain where there is a "pockety" MODERATE avalanche danger. If you get into steep radical terrain and are finding fresh drifts, it would be wise to avoid them as they might crack out today.
