Notes
From obs:
"Widespread cracking and collapsing were observed both north and south of Cooke City."
"We stepped off the skin track and remotely triggered a small slope above the creek below. Took a closer look and it failed on surface hoar/facets 35 cm down. A skier-triggered avalanche was also seen on the west side of Woody Ridge."
