22-23

From email: "Saw this recent crown while xc skiing out above Mill Creek today.  It's on the east-southeast aspect of Peak 10526 east of Emigrant Peak at ~10,200'.  In what I like to call the Arrastra Ridge Avalanche Observatory Plot*.  The photo is taken approximately 5 miles in line of sight from the crown.  It is roughly 1000' wide.  If I had to guess, the crown is 10'+ tall—definitely a very destructive avalanche. I won't venture a guess on the rating.  I'd bet good money it ran all the way to the lake at the head of Burnt Creek and rearranged some timber.

*If one wanted to create a laboratory for observing large, regularly occurring naturally triggered avalanches, this would be one of the best locations in SW MT."

A group of skiers saw a natural avalanche on an east, facing slope off of Naya Nuki Mountain in the Bridger range. It likely avalanched early in the morning on April 2.

From IG: A group of writers reported seeing three new natural avalanches on April 1. 

From IG: “North meadow creek tobacco roots today“

From email: "Observed very limited terrain due to vis. Saw this very large avalanche on Climax. The crown looks fresh, so it likely occurred the day or night of 4/1?
Hard to tell but the crown looks to be about 4-6’ deep at its deepest. The debris ran to the creek.
E aspect at 10000’.

There were also several smaller soft slab avalanches that ran on the lookers right side of Climax.

On 4/1 we had a large collapse on a SE aspect at 9800’ where the MF crust was present under 60cm of new snow.

Winds were L-M with consistent gusts to S on Saturday."
