Unstable Snowpack Bridger Range

Unstable Snowpack Bridger Range

The snowpack in the Bridger Range has a slab of new snow resting on very weak facets.  Despite recent warm weather, conditions remain unstable.  It can take a very long time for facets and depth hoar to finally heal.  Unfortunately it might take most of the season.  Photo: GNFAC
