Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

Dug with Chabot. East winds carved away snow at higher elevations, causing a mix of dense but stubborn wind slabs and sifted powder from the more recent wind direction reversal to west. Cornices remain large and noted softer snow/graupel with recent hard slab on top.
