I used to be a ski instructor at Snowbird and regularly saw the howitzers, and on occasion we’d hear them down in the valley. The end of an era. #snowSafety #avalanche #SandyUT

skin track thoughts
Snow bridges = spring danger. ❄️ That patch of snow might hide water, rocks, or a drop-off. One misstep and you’re soaked—or hurt.
✅ Probe snow first
✅ Cross one at a time
✅ Rope up if possible
✅ Avoid if unsure of stability
✅ Stay off in warm weather
Ever had a snow bridge scare?
