Update Item Information
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.
