Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

Dug on flank, 75-100 feet below crown of SS-AMu-R2-D2-O, triggered 2/21/22, 2' deep, 3' max depth. There was a separate, snow-biker triggered fatal avalanche on 2/19/22 a couple miles south of here, similar aspect, elevation and size. Overall stability has improved since then, but not yet "good".

posses socks @300' above skiers left tube good powder w/no rime on top no drizzle layer found in middle difficult to break apart column after prying off!

Measured 13" of new snow = 0.95" SWE (35cm snow = 24mm h2o).
