Skier triggered hard wind slab at Bridger
Date
Activity
Skiing
Skier triggered wind slab avalanche around 2pm, along the edge of north Bowl and Bronco near "The John". Crown 6-10" deep and 30 feet wide, hard slab of recent drifted snow. HS-ASc-D1.5. Strong wind blowing steady from the south-southwest and transporting snow, filling in tracks rapidly.
Immediately after this slide, I saw what I assume was skier triggered, slide of similar size a little further down the bowl with crown drifting in. Beacon check of debris produced no signal, barely deep enough to bury someone.
