Hoooleeeee Shiiiiit!!!!
Can't believe I didn't have my camera today. Wait til you guys see the carnage from control work. Big crown in morning glory as well as south bowl right above the traverse. Sluice Box slid to the ground. Bridger Gully went HUGE around 10, absolutely massive debris pile. Hopefully everyone is ok, lots of folks traversing/sidestepping all the way from midway out towards alpine. Just speculation on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if they are done for the year, especially the upper mtn.

Oh for sure, it went all the way across, all the way to the ground. There was even debris that spilled across the ridge into the far side of north bowl.

I can not believe that debris pile from the Bridger Gully slide. It must have been a freaky morning for patrol. So many little miracles this year as well, amazing.

Yikes. Thats insane. Morning Glory was during operating hours but Bridger Gully wasn't, right?
Big thank you to patrol for everything they do every day up there. Scary and intense day I'm sure.

Nope, other way around. BG was right around 10, watched the whole thing from powder park. There were a bunch of people traversing all the way over to Brush Run area from midway so ppl were definitely in the area. I was able to get one more ride on Bridger before they shut it down and went over to check out the debris. Amazing.

So...if PK is running...assuming the snowpack stabilizes in some miraculous way...will they open slushies? I recognize Bridger and Alpine slid to the ground, and the avalanche aspect is the steep west-facing stuff (just like all the terrain up in slushies).
Just curious if they'll do it.
When is the scheduled season closer anyway?

Nope, they are done. Employees, including patrol, were notified today that it is skeleton crew from here on out. I would be highly surprised if they open anything beyond what they are opening tomorrow. Honestly, it's been such a shitty and ridiculous season, they should just pack it in.

I'm sure it's worth going up to spin laps off p.k, rip a flippers lap for me, you know it's gonna get good again."The skis just popped me up out of the snow and I went screaming down the hill on a high better than any heroin junkie." She Ra

During the big slides, did the Hidden area or Apron slide? Anybody been up there lately? Thinking of doing some hiking this weekend and want to hit Hidden if it is in decent shape.

The dog and I skied Hidden this afternoon. It's now slid out. Still lots of pockets left to release though. The Apron is still holding nice snow next to the debris. Still really fucking spicy up there, be careful. Stay under 30 and it should stay put, super soft slabby right now. This shit needs to come out of the faucet so we can just be done with it.
