Large natural slide, Absaroka Mountains

This large natural avalanche occurred in the Absaroka Mountain Range outside of Paradise Valley. The slide broke hundreds of feet wide and 2-4' deep. It was likely triggered by a falling cornice. Notice the long distance it ran. This is a good reminder that low angle slopes can still be avalanche terrain. Always pay attention to the terrain above you. Photo: J. Negri
