Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

Pit after this at 8,100' was 110cm HS. A layer of graupel at 65-70cm, and above the rain crust had ECTN14, CT16 Q2.

This avalanche killed a solo skier late morning today. SS-ASu-R3-D2-I

Dug with Chabot. ECT was False unstable as far as I can tell.

Deep and stable snowpack for the west side of the Bridgers.

Winds were loading slopes on all aspects and elevations. Our pit location was a little sheltered so there wasn't much loading in this specific spot. We observed naturals and shooting cracks on heavier wind loaded slopes. CPST 98/100 end @ 318

6in. new snow this morning. Stopped snowing 30-45 minutes before pit. Wind increasing to strong.
