Texas Meadow snow profiles

Dug two pits on Texas Meadow north of Bridger Bowl. Generally good stability. Main concern is recent snow which appeared well bonded in pits. Deeper weak layers were stubborn to non-reactive, but a few deeper layers exist enough to create a deep slab concern if there is more loading, or when things start to melt...

Recent avalanche activity along the range (from Bridger Peak to The Throne) was confined to loose snow avalanches involving the most recent storm snow. A few natural, and many skier triggered which were large and probably occurred a day or two ago after 8-11" of heavy snow fell. There was minimal recent wet snow activity. Slopes that face the sun had a 3 cm crust which started to get damp this afternoon, but cooled off before it became weak enough to create any wet snow hazard.

Shady slopes stayed dry, and there was evidence of near surface faceting on shady slopes, and a thin dry layer of facets formed above the crust on slopes facing the sun.
