Risk Management Corner: Learning from St. Mary's Glacier Avalanche Incident

On Sunday, April 6, 2025, during an Alpine Climbing School (ACS) Intermediate Snow Field Day at St. Mary's Glacier, a shallow wind slab avalanche occurred on what appeared to be low-angle, low-consequence terrain. The incident took place at approximately 2:00 PM as the group was preparing for a final glissade exercise after completing their training sessions. Two individuals—an instructor and a student—were caught in the slide but fortunately were not buried and walked away without injuries. The slide area was approximately 75' x 200' with a depth of one to two feet.
