Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Monday morning, April 7, 2025
Most of the terrain on the Skyline has a LOW avalanche danger.
Keep an eye on the snow as it becomes wet and avoid steep slopes when things get wet, slushy and sloppy.
There is still a minor chance that you could trigger an avalanche that breaks deep on upper elevation very steep slopes that face north, northeast and east.
Conditions won't change much through the week and the forecast is going to be quite boring.

Weather and Snow
Current Conditions: Temperatures got into the upper 30s on Sunday and dropped back into the low 20s overnight. Wind continues to be very light generally from the west. The majority of the terrain will have melt-freeze crusts this morning. You might still find what resembles cold dry snow on the highest north facing slopes but that's coming to an end soon if not already.
Mountain Weather: Today temperatures will get well into the 40s and wind will be light from the west southwest. It looks like we'll see some clouds and breezy conditions on Tuesday. The rest of the week will bring a warming trend with very warm temperatures by the weekend.
Recent Avalanches
There has been no significant avalanche activity for over two weeks. You can always check into all the avalanches that we hear about HERE.

Description
Conditions are generally quiet in the mountains right now. There are a couple of things to keep in mind this week.
WARM TEMPERATURES: Things are going to get crazy warm by later in the week. The snowpack will get wet, sloppy and unsupportable in a lot of places. You will punch deep into wet slush. When this starts to happen, it's time to avoid steep slopes.
OLD PERSISTENT WEAK LAYERS: The old layers of weak sugary snow seem to be mostly stable at this time. That said, I'm still nervous and I have not been traveling in a lot of the steep terrain I normally would at this time of the season. It's unlikely but, the places you might find trouble are on very steep slopes in the upper elevation terrain that faces north, northeast and east.
