On Sunday, Dec. 15 at 12:09 p.m., a skier was caught and buried by an avalanche at Bridger Bowl Ski Area. The skier, who was with a friend, was caught in the Papa Bear region below Bridger Gully and buried just below the surface. The skier was able to punch a hole through the surface of the snow while their friend and other members of the skiing public were able to extricate the uninjured skier.

In a Dec. 17 social media post, Bridger Bowl explained that while inbound avalanches are rare, they may happen and are an inherent risk of skiing, even within ski area boundaries.

“We share this as a reminder of the importance of skiing and riding with a partner, especially in deep snow conditions,” the post said, offering safety resources. “Please be safe out there!”
