Cache Creek outside Cooke City Avalanche

Cache Creek outside Cooke City Avalanche

From Beau Fredlund in Cooke: "Avalanche activity:  noted quite a few more recent slab avalanches today with the clear weather/ good visibility.  Most were of an E, SE aspect- lee to the strong, recent NW winds.  SE Republic Peak went big (500' + wide, running full track), the SE aspect of Amphitheater, ect.  Attached photo of a mid elevation (9,500') east in Cache Creek.  Most of the activity, but not all, near ridgelines."  He nails it again.
