Avalanche - Dogleg Chute north of Bridger Bowl

Avalanche - Dogleg Chute north of Bridger Bowl

This slide occurred in the Dogleg Chute north of Bridger Bowl. The weak layer (facets near the ground) was impacted in an area where the slab was thinner then propagated into deeper parts of the snowpack. The slide was triggered by a cornice drop, but could easily have been triggered by a skier or boarder. Photo GNFAC
