Notes
Routine avalanche mitigation within the boundaries of Bridger Bowl sympathetically caused half of the Football Field on Saddle Peak to avalanche immediately south of the boundary. "Debris ran over the cliffs pulling out spindrift cones that were up to 5 ft deep."
*Note: Ski Patrols do not perform any avalanche mitigation outside ski area boundaries.
