The snowpack near Bridger Bowl is roughly 2 ft deep on the upper mountain. The pack consists mainly of dense, well bonded snow; however, an ice crust in the lower pack rests on a weaker layer of mixed forms and facets. This layer did propagate during an ECT indicating it has the ability to propagate a fracture. Currently, there is not enough snow to make this layer a major problem, but with a heavy load it could become reactive.
