Bridger Range Snowpit

Bridger Range Snowpit

Just over 3 ft of settled snow as of November 16th can be found in the Bridger Range immediately north of Bridger Bowl.  The main layer of concern is a combination of graupel crystals and heavily rimed, new snow crystals.  A slightly denser layer of snow rests on top.  These two layers are easy to find and will easily produce an avalanche if loaded by wind blown snow.
