Notes
Small slab avalanche triggered by skier in a small chute near The John and Bronco runs in Bridger Bowl. Propagation from skier’s ski, slab slid down through the chute. Crown maybe 10 feet wide. Slab looked about 6 or 7 inches thick. Looked like a layer of new snow from today and yesterday’s storm sliding on top of an old crust layer. Nobody harmed, just spooked. Watch out!
