Human Triggered Deep Slab - Cooke City 3/15/14

This slide occurred on the south face of Mt. Abundance north of Cooke City. The slide was triggered by a snowmobiler climbing the slope. He was caught and buried with only his head sticking out. He suffered two broken legs and was flown by helicopter to the hospital in Bozeman. The slide failed on facets near the ground. Photo B. Fredlund
