Quick report

It was a beautiful sunny day at Bridger, and the snow warmed up very fast. We started skiing around 6am and by 8:45am, snow was starting to fall off trees. There were a lot of smaller dry loose slides near rock lines on steeper terrain, most were likely from yesterday 4/17.

Small slab avalanche on saddle peak. There were large cornices on the ridge with wind blowing at the peak all day. It's possible a cornice fall could have triggered this avalanche.
