Small Avalanche near Cooke City

Small Avalanche near Cooke City

One of our observers saw another skier trigger this small slab avalanche on a north-facing slope around 9,000',  2-3' deep and about 35' wide.  Given how shallow it is, it might be a repeat avalanche, running on depth hoar near the ground. Photo: B. Fredlund
