Strong winds, but hopeful snowpit

We exited Bridger Bowl ski area via the gate at the top of the Alpine Lift, ascended Bradley's Meadow and The Ramp and dug in one of the Refrigerator Chutes on a NE aspect at ~8000 ft. We found a snowpack that made us pretty hopeful about the direction things are headed in the Bridger Range. Snow depth was 160 cm and we got ECTX results. At least in this location, the weak layers are starting to heal. The early January weak layer was 1Finger hardness. We are not at all confident yet about how widespread this is, but nonetheless, it is nice to see things getting better somewhere.

Winds were calm below the ridgeline, but we could see big plumes transporting in Wolverine Bowl. Yesterday's skin track was completed drifted in in some places.

Around a foot of new snow from the last couple days made for good riding conditions.
