Notes

Two large, widely propagation fractures visible through a hole in the cloud cover Monday A.M. from Bridger Canyon Dr. Upper slab failure evidently stepped down to a deeper layer estimated 400' below upper crown. Both crowns appeared to be similar depth. Also visible were debris toes further to the North that had run mostly full path. Looked like it was already covered up yesterday (tues).

A second ob via phone message:

A large natural avalanche occurred on the north summit of Bridger Peak yesterday (Monday, 27 March). The crown line was complex.
