70 mph gusts on Wednesday (1/13) in the Taylor Fork stripped some slopes and loaded others with fresh drifts. Photo: GNFAC

Snowfall and strong wind triggered this avalanche on 1/13/2021. Photo: B. Fredlund

This avalanche is on the east side of Lionhead Ridge. Trigger is unknown; elevation is 9,000'. Photo: GNFAC

This avalanche was likely triggered by a snowmobiler on 1/9/21. It is on Ski Hill and the slope avalanched in between the two avalanches that Dave and Doug triggered earlier. It failed on depth hoar; east facing, 8,000'. Photo: GNFAC

This small avalanche was likely triggered by a passing snowmobiler on 1/9/21. This is located south of Airplane Bowl, NE aspect at 9000'. Photo: GNFAC

This natural avalanche was observed 1/13/21 south of Cooke City. It looks to have broke that day during snowfall and strong wind. Photo: N. Hance

Surface hoar was observed on many slopes near Cooke City on 1/12/21. It is now buried by recent snow and may cause avalanches. Photo: @turbo_dieshall

Cracking, collapsing, wumphs in the Southern Gallatin. ECTP 22. West facing, 8200’ non windloaded, 80cm of snow. Broke 50cm deep on depth hoar. Barely a cohesive slab on top but still enough to cause unstable conditions.

This avalanche likely released with the snowfall and wind on Wednesday (1/13). It is east facing and the lowest half of the snowpack is facets. Photo: D. Haluptzok

A recently observed avalanche that ran something in the January 5th cycle (within a few days of 1/5). This occurred on a northerly aspect around 9,000'. Photo: B Fredlund
