Notes

From obs.: “Saw many recent looking wet loose avalanches on east facing slopes at Bridger. We got a good look at the debris pile from one in Z chute and it looked big enough to bury a person (D2) and had run far past the cat track into south bowl.

We encountered a lot of variation in ski penetration with ~1' of loose melt forms in places on north and east facing slopes ~8k' in elevation.”
