by The Editors on December 29, 2008

An avalanche this morning at 9:30 AM blasted right up to the back door of the Bridger Restaurant at the top of the Bridger Gondola at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, according to a story from the Mercury News.

Resort spokeswoman Anna Olson said Monday’s slide happened shortly before the ski area was to open for the day. Some resort employees were in the area at the time but no members of the public. . . . “An immediate search took place and everyone was accounted for,” Olson said. “The incident is under full investigation.”

This avalanche run only two days after a skier died in an in-bounds avalanche at the resort.
