Natural Avalanche - Cooke City

This natural avalanche occurred recently just south of Silver Gate on a ENE facing slope around 9000ft.  It appears to be wind loaded from the left side, but it propagated of a wide area indicating the existence of a widespread, persistent weak layer.  Photo: B. Zavora
