Snowpack and Avalanche Discussion
The Bridger Range:
Over the past few weeks the Bridger Range has gone from worst to first in terms of snowfall. A favorable northwest flow has provided consistent moisture which has produced respectable snowfall amounts. Over the past 24 hours close to a foot and a half of low density snow has been recorded at the top of the Bridger Lift. This latest round of snow has been accompanied by strong west/northwest winds, which has easily transported the new snow onto leeward slopes.

From an email: "Normal day of riding. Overall stable except for this windloaded spot. Snowmobiler was sidehilling and broke the windslab. Noone caught and the guy that set it off was wearing an airbag. In muddy basin of buck ridge main headwall on 2/29. North northeast facing slope." Photo: J. Volpe
