Notes
GNFAC forecaster observed many wet loose slides entraining recent snow from Bridger Peak through the Throne. There were also fresh drifts along the ridgeline that broke naturally and became long running wet loose slides. Slide sizes ranged D1-D2.
From obs email (4/17/20): "5(?) slides into North Bowl (the two large ones already on your site plus 3 smaller ones - 2 of which happened sometime during the morning (they were not there when I left the car at 745). Also new slide in Bridger Gully. Plumes of snow blowing off the ridge / Saddle Peak"
