	Boundary Chute Wet Slab, Bridger Bowl Bridger Range, 2012-03-28 This wet slab avalanche was triggered by a ski patroller kicking a wet loose avalanche that stepped down to the ground.

	Wet Slab avalanches north of Ross Peak Bridger Range, 2012-03-26 These wet slab avalanches broke today (Mon, 3/23) during the warm, well-above freezing temperatures. The avalanche on the left broke above the slide that was triggered by a snowmobiler on Friday. Weak snow at the ground quickly becomes unstable when water hits it. Photo: GNFAC
	Wet Slab Avalanche North of Bridger Bowl_2 Bridger Range, 2012-03-26 This avalanche released naturally outside Bridger Bowl's boundary. Above freezing temperatures allowed water to percolate down to the weak facets at the ground where the avalanche released from. Photo: GNFAC
	Wet Slab Avalanche North of Bridger Bowl_1 Bridger Range, 2012-03-26 This wet slab avalanche released naturally at 1145 am. Two days without freezing temperatures and sunny, warm weather today weakened the snowpack considerably. Note the large crack to the right of the avalanche. This is something we do not usually see.

	Wet Slab Avalanche - Bridger Range Bridger Range, 2012-03-25 A poor snowpack structure and multiple days without freezing temperatures has created unstable conditions in the Bridger Range. This wet slab released naturally and failed on facets near the ground. Photo Alex Merienthal
	Avalanche - Northern Bridgers Bridger Range, 2012-03-24 The slide that occurred in the northern Bridgers broke on facets near the ground. Temperatures well above freezing combined with a terrible snowpack structure will keep the avalanche danger elevated. Photo GNFAC
	Avalanche Debris - Northern Bridgers Bridger Range, 2012-03-24 A large human triggered slide north of Ross Peak left piles of debris up to 15 feet thick. Mark Staples hikes out of a large hole in the center of the debris pile. Fortunately the rider who triggerd this slide was not caught. Photo GNFAC
	Avalanche - Northern Bridgers Bridger Range, 2012-03-23 This slide was human triggered. Fortunately the rider escaped unharmed. Photo Ross

	Human Triggered Avalanche - Northern Bridgers Bridger Range, 2012-03-23 This slide occurred in the northern Bridgers and was triggered by a snowmobiler. The rider triggered the slide on his way up and fortunately avoided being caught. Both the rider and the sled went over the crown. The rider escaped unharmed but the sled was totaled.
