Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Tuesday - January 5, 2016 - 6:47am
bottom line

The avalanche danger remains MODERATE in the mid and upper elevation west through north through east facing terrain. I am still avoiding steeper slopes along the higher terrain especially that face west, northwest and north as these have received the most drifted snow from the last few days. Human triggered avalanches are possible and some of these could break into old weak sugary snow near the ground creating a dangerous avalanche.

THE AVALANCHE DANGER MAY INCREASE MID WEEK DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SNOW AND WIND THE NEXT STORM DELIVERS.
current conditions

Southeast wind continued to blow pretty hard on Monday. The upper elevations look like a moonscape with stout rippled snow and large pillows scattered about. All this east wind has really mixed things up in the higher terrain making avalanche assessment quite difficult.
