Primary Problem: Loose Wet
Bottom Line: Assess the snow surface for wet snow instabilities, and plan to be off and out from under steep, sunny slopes before the sunshine weakens the snow surface. Any rain this afternoon could further weaken the snow surface. If you plan to travel on steep slopes, look for shadier slopes with a thicker refrozen crust. Sinking past your ankle in wet snow, or seeing rollerballs, pinwheels or natural avalanches means it is time to find lower angle terrain or slopes with a colder, dry or refrozen snow surface.

The Last Word

Bridger Bowl Ski Area is closed for the season, and uphill travel is allowed. Please give employees and machinery plenty of room as they work to clean up from the season. Backcountry conditions will develop as spring storms impact the range. There are no ski patrol services, avalanche mitigation or terrain closures as conditions evolve. Call 911 for any incidents requiring outside assistance.  

Our last daily avalanche forecast will be Sunday, April 20th. We will issue updates on Mondays and Fridays through the end of April.
