Northern Gallatin

Went for a skin up to Hyalite Peak yesterday to check out snow conditions. We found about 8-12 inches of new snow sitting on a base at Hyalite Lake. We saw no signs of instability in the area. Small cornices were observed on the Hyalite saddle, and a hit or miss 1 inch wind slab directly below the ridge. 

From IG: “Pine creek today, some small wind slabs and a full depth wet slide off black mountain”

From obs. "Was out alpine climbing today and observed the north face of Blackmore had slid already."

From email: “These pics are from last June 10-11 (2022), after the pass reopened on Friday. I was skiing the Gardner headwall at 5:30, solo, when this monster released. Yah. The initial cornice collapse triggered and entrained a secondary slab of varying thickness whose crown is seen in one of the photos.”
