Stoke’s take

Skyline has 0 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours, 0.8 inches over 48 hours, and a base of only 4 inches, so coverage is thin. Summit wind is 8.1 mph at 27.6°F, with 0.2 inches more forecast. Pack extra layers, allow roughly 85 minutes from Provo, and read the official Utah Avalanche Center forecast first.
