On 11/12, two small slides were reported in the Northern Bridger Range near Fairy Lake, at least one of which was skier triggered.

The skier triggered slide  was "a w wind slab approximately 50 X 50’ with a 6” crown. The slab slab lf was only about 4” thick and only slid about 5” down the slope before stopping, and I was able to stop and then turn around and ski off of the slab with slab it moving any further. The 4” of dry slab was si slab g on about 3” of sugary snow that was on a very firm icy bed surface." bed surface

We don't have details on the other slide , but it was reported as a wind slab avalanche on the NE side of Pomp Peak.
