Avalanche Advisory
Advisory: Skyline Area Mountains Issued by Brett Kobernik for Thursday - February 2, 2017 - 6:53am
bottom line

The overall avalanche danger remains generally low. Recently formed drifts are very stubborn at this point. If one were to break loose on a person, it would be at the upper elevation more east facing very steep slopes. Consider consequences if even a small wind slab were to release and push you into a gully or into trees.




weather

Wind will pick up again later today from the southwest as a minor disturbance moves through perhaps producing light snow. No significant snow accumulation is anticipated. Another minor disturbance late Friday into Saturday may add a trace to a few inches of snow. A more promising storm is shaping up for Tuesday which could give us a decent shot of new snow. Weather in the high country looks fairly windy with quite mild temperatures through next week.
