| Title |
The Nature and Control of Snow Cornices on the Bridger Range, Southwestern Montana |
| Subject |
Avalanches; Bridger Range, Montana; Winds |
| Description |
Prevailing westerly winds create large snow cornices along the lee crest of the Bridger Range in Southwestern Montana. Studies during the winters of 1965-68 revealed some of the mechanics of cornice accumulation and deformation and showed that cornices may be controlled by wind deflecting structures. |
