Photo of recent, natural wind slab avalanche near Cooke City. (which likely happened last night)
The avalanche is on a SE aspect around 10,000'. The crown looks to be about 1-3' deep and 75' wide.
The SW/ W winds were moving a good bit of snow around this morning/ today. (more so than the Lulu wx station would lead someone to believe.)
No collapsing today. Minor cracking of the fresh drifts. Fairly widespread wind effect above 9500'.
Also observed a couple of isolated wet loose avalanches today too.
Expecting more wet loose tomorrow in places..
