Remote Triggered Avalanche along route to Sheep Creek

Remote Triggered Avalanche along route to Sheep Creek

This slide was remotely triggered Tuesday (2/11) along the route into Sheep Creek just north of Cooke City. Remotely triggered means it was triggered from the flats under these steep slopes and a serious sign of unstable conditions. The snowpack in this are is relatively thin and this avalanche broke near the groud. Photo: GNFAC
