BPX Trip – BPX 2-Day: Morrison Creek from Little Scraggy TH

A campsite near Morrison Creek in Pike National Forest provides an ideal location for a pre-season backpacking shakedown, offering a short approach with minimal elevation gain to test gear and fitness. Tucked among tall pines and open meadows, the site offers easy access to water and a peaceful setting for refining backpacking setups before tackling longer trails. With its close-in location and gentle terrain, it’s a perfect spot to dial in equipment and trail routines without committing to a strenuous trek. This trip is for BPX members.

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.
