Notes
We rode on Buck Ridge on January 8th 2021. We saw six recent natural avalanches and three snowmobile triggered slides. Based on 3-4" of snow that fell yesterday morning covering the debris, we estimate the several natural slides ran 24-48 hours ago. They likely broke on January 6 after the area got 8" of snow on the 5th.
