Jackson Hole Avalanche hits restaurant the top of the gondola. The avalanche which released from the headwall at approximately 9:15 am and hit Coulior restaurant. Apparently there were only workers and patrollers in the area at the time. No confirmed injuries or fatalities. It was also reported that Laramie bowl, Cheyenne Bowl, and the headwall all had major avalanches this morning. I will update the blog as information is available.
It is also reported that the Coulior restaurant received extensive damage and is possibly closed for the season. The avalanche was of large scale. There are no reports of the Bridger gondola receiving any avalanche damage.
The ski patrolmen Mike Werner was hit by a picnic table as it went by. No indication to his injuries. The avalanche was thought to have released naturally, though the patrol had done control work on the headwall prior to the avalanche occurring.
Our hats off to the ski patrol this year!
