This photo of the east side of Bridger Peak was taken from the road. It has snowed about 2 feet in the past few days, yet this large area is stripped of snow. Where it went is anybody's guess (I'm betting dowhill), but it most certainly added even more snow to other slopes further increasing the avalanche potential. New snow + winds + weak snowpack = avalanches. Photo: GNFAC
