Notes

1. Saw some really cool small avalanches today at Bridger. There was an obvious cycle last night on a density change, it wasn't sliding on the crust. The instability had decreased by 10 am and we couldn't get anything to move. Really cool to see such thin soft slabs propagating up to 50 ft. Good piles of debris under steep chutes.

2. Soft slabs were reactive on rocky south easterly aspects where sun crusts had formed.
