This slide was triggered by a skier only 200 ft below the Bridger Ridge on the west side of the range which is NOT part of the ski area. It was a west facing slope. He found many stiff wind slabs resting on very weak facets, a perfect combination for avalanches. He also experienced lots of collapsing and cracking. Photo: A. Whitmore
