Natural Avalanche in Bridgers

Natural Avalanche in Bridgers

Date

South of Saddle Peak, ~8500', ENE aspect, 2-3' crown depth estimated and likely cornice-triggered. N-facing snow remained dry until the latter afternoon when a high sun angle cooked everything but the truest due north. Avalanche appeared to be all new snow likely on a PWL buried near the end of March. Winds moving snow up high, but everything appeared locked on.
