  • Avalanche forecaster Brad Meiklejohn with the Utah Avalanche Center cuts a thin section of snow to show the layers in the snow.  In this case, new snow sits on top of very weak depth hoar.

  • A huge, natural, wet-slab avalanche released late in the afternoon of March 13, 2007 on the northwest face of Gobbler's Knob in the upper left of the photo.  The wet debris gouged out a 40 foot deep trough and filled it with dense, wet, avalanche debris.  The debris flows well out out of the frame to the right.

  • A glide avalanche in Broad's Fork, Wasatch Range, Utah.  A glide avalanche is a type of wet avalanche in which the entire snowpack slides slowly on the ground, similar to a glacier, until the entire slab fails catastrophically.

  • A backcountry skier travels past the top of an avalanche, which his party member easily triggered from the flat top of the ridge.  Cuttler Ridge near Ben Lomond Peak in the Ogden area mountains, Utah.

  • A backcountry skier carefully approaches a large cornice in the mountains near Logan, Utah.  Cornices can be extremely dangerous and backcountry travelers should never approach the edge of a dropoff in the mountains.

  • Fractured blocks near the crown face of an avalanche incident on Little Water Peak, Wasatch Range, Utah.  A backcountry skier triggered this avalanche from the bottom of a very gentle slope and one party member was buried 6 feet deep when the debris pushed him up against a tree. A quick and skillful rescue by the other party members saved his life.

  • We met the party who triggered the slide coming out of the bowl and talked to them.  The four tracks on the right are straight south facing, but the lone skier on the left took a slightly southeasterly aspect, which was underlain with weak depth hoar.  He remotely triggered the avalanche on one of the last turns we can see.  His friends yelled and he scooted off to his left (the traverssing track we see). Toledo Bowl, a backcountry area near Alta, Utah.

  • We intentionally triggered this avalanche by jumping on the flat part of the ridge above the trees and the propagating collapse triggered the avalanche on the steeper slope below.  Here, we are examining the culprit weak layer. Monitor Bowl area, Wasatch Range, Utah

  • A large, natural, avalanche on the northwest face of Gobbler's Knob, Mill Creek Canyon, Wasatch Range, Utah.  This avalanche likely released late in the day due to sustained very warm temperatures.

  • I was able to intentionally and easily trigger this huge avalanche in East Monitor along the Park City ridgeline, Utah.  I was standing above where my wife is now  and sanding on a 15 degree slope and hanging onto a tree.  I jumped on the slope, which collapsed the very fragile layer of depth hoar and propagatated the fracture onto the steeper slope below me.  My wife Susi came down to the tree after the avalanche occurred, where she watched me as I examined the fracture line of the avalanche.  It is usually quite safe to examine fracture lines because all the energy has been released.

  • A massive avalanche triggered by a snowboarder. The avalanche, unfortunately, killed the snowboarder. For scale, you can see avalanche workers examining the fracture line on the right side of the photo.  The fracture was 6-8 feet deep.
