A layer of new snow may be exciting, but it’s also a great time to check the snowpack stability through resources like the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center.
Big Sky Ski Patrol did report large natural avalanches in closed terrain including the Headwaters. More were reported in the surrounding backcountry, as well as a skier-triggered an avalanche in a backcountry snowpack at Bridger Bowl.
According to the GNFAC, Avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE in the mountains near Bozeman, Big Sky, West Yellowstone, Island Park, and Cooke City today.
Hoary Marmot podcast hosts Joe and Michelle sat down with GNFAC’s avalanche forecaster David Zinn to chat about their team, the hard work they do, and what the snowpack looks like so far this winter. Listen to the podcast episode here, to learn more about the season ahead.
