Northern Madison, 2019-03-11 This deep slab avalanche appeared to have been triggered by skiers on Saturday (3/9) or Sunday (3/10). It shows the type of terrain to avoid in order to avoid triggering a big avalanche: Variable snow depth, complex and rocky. Photo: D. Sandberg Link to Avalanche Details |

Cooke City, 2019-03-08 This slide was triggered on a steep (40 deg) southeast facing slope at Round Lake outside Cooke City. It failed 8" deep on a layer of graupel and small facets. An adjacent hill slid at the same depth beforehand. This layer is not on most slopes, but as this slide shows it is on some. Doug was in the area and dug a pit in the crown soon after it was triggered. Photo: J. Fritz |

Out of Advisory Area, 2019-03-08 This large natural avalanche occurred in the Absaroka Mountain Range outside of Paradise Valley. The slide broke hundreds of feet wide and 2-4' deep. It was likely triggered by a falling cornice. Notice the long distance it ran. This is a good reminder that low angle slopes can still be avalanche terrain. Always pay attention to the terrain above you. Photo: J. Negri |

Northern Madison, 2019-03-06 This slide on the NE face of Blackmore was triggered by the second skier. It was 8-12" deep and 100' wide and likely failed on small faceted crystals underneath the new snow. No one was caught. Going one at a time was good travel behavior that can save our lives when things go wrong. Link to Avalanche Details |
