Trip Planning for Bridgers

Skier triggered avalanche at the bottom of the 2nd/3rd finger at Bridger Bowl.

From obs: "Skinned above alpine lift (just beyond the beacon checker) to get an idea for snowpack depth/ layers. A quick dig revealed a shallow, faceted snowpack!"

Shooting cracks on the apron. Shallow and firm but reactive windslab breaking on the faceted layer bellow it. About 10cm of new snow sitting atop the windslab as of this afternoon. Photo: C. Bayles

Skier triggered windslab in the Great One off of Naya Nuki peak, skier was carried 15-20ft before arresting. Slide was triggered roughly halfway down the couloir where the right wall dips away exposing the snow to wind. Hard consolidated snow over facets, roughly 1-1.5 ft thick, ran about 50-100 ft before pouring over the cliff faces below. North- northeast aspect. Photo: J. Alford 11/8/2023

A hiker at Bridger Bowl noticed a small, loose snow avalanche near the Apron. Noting that it was a, "Good reminder as to how little snow is required to have an avalanche!" Photo: A Crawford
