Primary Problem: Loose Wet
Bottom Line: Temperatures at high elevations are near or above freezing this morning which makes wet loose avalanches the main avalanche concern today. These slides may be relatively small, but can easily knock over or carry a person, and would be especially dangerous if they pushed you over rocks, cliffs or piled deeply in a confined terrain feature. Ice Climbers should be particularly aware of the potential of wet loose slides starting naturally above climbs. Regardless of your activity, minimize or avoid spending time on and below steep slopes that receive direct sunlight today. On slopes where the snow is dry, avalanches are unlikely. Continue to assess the snowpack stability, and consider the consequences of even a small slide.

The Last Word

Bridger Bowl has backcountry conditions, and there are no ski patrol services. While they set up for the season, please steer clear of snowmaking equipment, chairlifts, and snowmobiles and respect posted signage.
