Forecast for the Skyline Area Mountains

Brett Kobernik
Issued by Brett Kobernik on
Monday morning, April 1, 2019
The avalanche danger is generally LOW. You can pretty much get onto any slope without too much worry of triggering an avalanche right now. Continue to use proper backcountry protocol. Make sure everyone is carrying beacons, shovels, and probes and knows how to use them. Only put one person on a steep slope at a time and don't regroup at the bottom of steep slopes.

Special Announcements
Utah has a rich history of avalanches. From the earlier mining days of Alta to the start of avalanche research and snow science in the US in Little Cottonwood Canyon in 1939. Snowpack and weather data has been collected from the Alta Guard Station every year since making it the longest snow plot history in the US. These roots made the UAC an early leader in avalanche education and forecasting.
Check out this video about where it all began.
Weather and Snow
Riding conditions remain decent with nice soft snow still in the higher elevations. Travel conditions are outstanding with a very deep snowpack covering everything!
We'll increasing clouds this afternoon and another storm rolling through Tuesday into Wednesday which should be good for 5 to 9 inches of new snow.
