We saw these avalanches on the afternoon of 2/7/2020. They broke in the storm snow about 3 feet deep. North of Bridger Bowl on an East-southeast aspect at 7,500'. Probably occurred within the last 24 hrs. Photo: GNFAC
We saw this avalanche on the afternoon of 2/7/2020. It looks to have broken in the storm snow about 3 feet deep. North of Bridger Bowl on an East aspect at 7,900'. It probably occurred within the last 24-36 hrs. Photo: GNFAC
From observation: "We had cracks shooting around our skis for the entire skin up, and multiple wumphs"
On the drive to Buck Ridge there were widespread 4-6" deep natural slab avalanches in the storm snow on steep slopes, road cuts and river cuts. Some broke "on the ground", where it was bare ground two days ago. This is some evidence of the upside down nature of this storm.
We triggered an avalanche in the second Yellow Mule off Buck Ridge on 2/6/2020. It is on a small roll/cornice "in the flats". It broke within the current 2-3' storm snow,18-24" deep.
We also saw a couple natural avalanche crowns 10-18" deep lower down the drainage. I'm sure there were a ton more crowns there, and probably everywhere. through the forecast area. Visibility was limited to 50-100'.
