Avalanche in Naya Nuki Bowl - 31 March 11

A fast and heavy load produced large avalnaches in the northern Bridgers.  This slide broke 3-5 feet deep and more 1,000 feet across - it ran full track, 1,700 vertical.  It occurred on a W-SW facing slope at 8,700 ft.  The weak layer was old facets near the ground.  Photo GNFAC
