Wet Slide off Bridger Ridge near Baldy

Wet Slide off Bridger Ridge near Baldy

Activity
Snowshoeing

While descending from a trail “run” (definitely more of a post hole) up towards Baldy, I saw a medium-sized wet slide on the eastern side of the ridge underneath some large rocks. The slide was roughly 15-20’ across at the portion I could see and traveled several hundred feet down the mountain. I could hear trees snapping (sadly in the video I don’t think you can, as my breathing is way too loud) and watched the avalanche move for almost a minute. I was very thankful for my careful route finding and avoidance of steep slopes!
