Forecast for Skyline Area Mountains
Issued by Brett Kobernik for
Sunday, December 12, 2021
There is a CONSIDERABLE danger in mid and upper elevation northeast, north and northwest facing slopes that received around a foot of wind drifted snow on Thursday. Human triggered slab avalanches are likely on these slopes. This is a “Catch 22” in that the higher northerly facing terrain is just where we want to go because that is where the most snow is. If you do go into this described terrain, you will be safe if you stay on slopes that are not steeper than 30 degrees and there’s nothing steeper above you.
The avalanche danger is LOW in all other areas outside of the higher northerly facing terrain.
