Avalanche south of Hardscrabble

Avalanche south of Hardscrabble

Date
Activity
Snowmobiling

The snow ranger crew was riding around the Bridgers today and we spotted this slide in the bowl to the south of Hardscrabble peak.  It looked fairly recent (last 2 days) but a little hard to tell due to the new snow since yesterday and blowing snow today.  It seems likely that it is one of the slides reported in an observation yesterday.  We had a nice view of it as we rode out so I figured it was worth a picture.  

As for the riding, there seemed to be about 8-12" of new snow that was bonded to the old surface pretty well.  Best riding was anywhere you could get out of the wind, so sheltered bowls or in the trees.
