Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Wednesday morning, December 19, 2018
The majority of the terrain along the Skyline has a LOW avalanche danger today. There is still a "pockety" MODERATE danger in the highest terrain on northwest through east facing steep slopes, ESPECIALLY ON THE MORE NORTHERLY FACING SLOPES THAT HOLD OLD WEAK SUGAR SNOW NEAR THE GROUND. As time goes on, chances for triggering an avalanche become less.

Weather and Snow
No big change in conditions on Tuesday. UAC forecaster Trent was down from Salt Lake to travel with me on Tuesday. Check out THIS BACKCOUNTRY OBSERVATION for some more details on what we found.
Recent Avalanches
We stumbled onto a couple of recent avalanches in our travels on Tuesday. The most significant was one that appeared to be sled triggered in Lowry Fork of Manti Canyon. DETAILS HERE.
On a side note, it is awesome when riders let us know about any avalanches they see or trigger. This helps us provide better avalanche forecasts to everyone which in turn keeps everyone more safe. You can CONTACT ME DIRECTLY HERE or SUBMIT AN AVALANCHE REPORT HERE.
