Easy shears in the Northern Gallatin Range

Easy shears in the Northern Gallatin Range

Skiers got very easy and clean shears with the ECT in open terrain.  They were surprised at this result yet heeded its warning and skied lower angled slopes.  This soft slab likely failed on a layer of small grained facets formed at the surface a few weeks ago. Photo: Anon
