Primary Problem: Loose Wet
Bottom Line: As the day heats up, warm temperatures and intense sunshine will destabilize the recent snow, particularly on slopes facing towards the sun. Expect to trigger Wet Loose avalanches if you get onto a steep slope that has been baking in the sun for more than a couple hours. Be most wary in areas where there is more recent snow or in very steep, consequential terrain where a small slide would have big consequences.

The Last Word

Bridger Bowl Ski Area is closed for the season, and uphill travel is allowed. Please give employees and machinery plenty of room as they work to clean up from the season. Backcountry conditions will develop as spring storms impact the range. There are no ski patrol services, avalanche mitigation or terrain closures as conditions evolve. Call 911 for any incidents requiring outside assistance.  

Our last daily avalanche forecast will be Sunday, April 20th. We will issue updates on Mondays and Fridays through the end of April.
