Notes

From obs: "On 4/22 at 12:30pm we were part way up the boot pack (now skin track) up from Bridger chair to the ridge. We heard someone yelling and looked over to see a skier caught in an avalanche just above North Bowl Road. The slide came to a stop at the road (they were on top the whole time), and the skier yelled that they were ok. Seemed like they were skiing alone but more of the party may have been out of view. We had not seen wet snow concerns until about 30 minutes before the incident. By the time we left bridger, most chutes had slides out of them."
