Football Field Avalanche

Football Field Avalanche

A skier remotely triggered this soft slab avalanche on the Football Field south of Bridger Bowl. Only 4-5 inches of new snow with some wind was enough to create a cohesive slab which failed on a layer of depth hoar near the ground. This slope already avalanched once this year, which makes this slide a repeater.  Photo:GNFAC
