Cooke Avalanche: looking down slope

Cooke Avalanche: looking down slope

The slope was 36-50 degrees at the crown and put hard slab debris up to 15 feet deep in the runout. The rider and his snowmobile were dug up on the left flank of the slide near the parked snowmobiles in the picture. He was dug up, revived and rode back to town!  Photo: GNFAC
