How deep? Cooke City deep!

A snow ranger from Cooke City and a member of the USGS completed the daunting task of trying to find the ground under more than 10' of snow. This pit was dug near Daisy Pass and had a depth of 133 inches. The main instabilities in the snowpack exist in the top 1-3' and mostly involve wind blown snow. Photo: M. Dixon
