Notes
We rode the motorized zone today with Bill and noticed two slides. One on the SE face of Scotch Bonnet in Tragenic Bowl and one on the NE face of Wolverine. They both broke 2-4’ deep. The avalanche on Wolverine slide aprx 1500’. Both were in wind loaded areas at upper elevations. Ski cuts with snowmobiles were not producing avalanches in protected areas.
