Sluffing in new snow
Date
Activity
Skiing
Took a quite tour up The Ramp to see how the new snow is bonding. Found 3-5" of new snow. Non-cohesive and seemed well bonded to the surfaces beneath. No signs of wind effect. No slab avalanches or signs of instability noted.
Saw a few sluffs in the new snow triggered by skiers in the very steep terrain just north of the Bridger Bowl ski area boundary (see photo). These sluffs were small, definitely not large enough to bury someone.
