Notes

The trigger of this avalanche is unknown but there are many ski tracks in and out of the path of the avalanche. Another party in the area the day before said this slope had not avalanched. 

 

From obs: "The location is the knoll under the Saddle Peak cliff that can be accessed by traversing through the southern boundary gate from Bridger Bowl. The slide propagated on a NE aspect going into a gully. The crown looked to be 1-2 feet tall with an approximate width of 30 feet. There are numerous tracks that go in and out of the slide path, but could not tell if it was triggered by a skier. A friend who I was with said that the slide had not been there the day before."
