Small Natural Avalanche - Northern Gallatin Range

Small Natural Avalanche - Northern Gallatin Range

This small natural avalanche was observed in the northern Gallatin Range near Hyalite Peak. It likely occurred during or immediately after the storm earlier in the week. This slide stayed confined to the storm snow and did not step down to deeper layers. It remains possible for skiers or riders to trigger similar avalanches in steep terrain. Photo GNFAC
