Notes

Many natural and skier triggered avalanches were reported on wind loaded slopes in the Northern Madison Range on 3/26/2020.

Dudley Creek: "Was up Dudley creek today. Northern madison. Saw 2 step down avalanches on ne aspect high elevation... One ... seemed cornice triggered within 12 hrs of our tour this morning (3/26). The 2nd avalanche is in the lower photo and was probably skier trigger intentional.... It looks like they triggered a fresh wind slab under ridge, maybe ski cut, which stepped down into some older layers"

Beehive & Middle Basins:

-Two natural wind slabs observed on west facing slopes near the ridgeline in Beehive.

-4 skier triggered slides in the new snow on wind affected slopes in Beehive and Middle (observed/triggered by multiple parties)
