Sheep Creek Surface Slide

Sheep Creek Surface Slide
Photo of a natural slab avalanche that ran in the last 24 hrs outside Cooke City up Sheep Creek.  It was a northeasterly aspect around 9400’ and as you can see it’s thin- maybe a foot deep, and around 70’ wide. A couple of other natural sluffs were noted, N and S aspects, short running, new snow, from the last 24 hrs as well.
