	Avalanches south of Mt. Blackmore Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-04 Two recent avalanches were spotted just south of Mt. Blackmore in the northern Gallatin Range yesterday (1-3-14). Photo: B. VandenBos
	Blackmore Avalanche Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-04 This slide occurred in one of the meadows along the trail to Mt. Blackmore just before the trail climbs out of the Blackmore Creek drainage into the Blackmore basin. This slope gets heavily windloaded at the top. Photo: B. VandeBos
	Active wind loading in Hyalite Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-03 Active wind loading will make many slopes prime to be triggered or to slide on their own. More wind and more snow is expected. Photo: B. VandenBos
	Natural avalanches in Hyalite Canyon Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-03 These two recent avalanches were spotted just north of Hyalite Peak yesterday on a SE aspect. Seeing naturally triggered avalanches means we can easily trigger slides if we ride in avalanche terrain. Photo: B. VandenBos

	Onion Basin avalanche debris and burial locations Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 The full burial occurred just out of view of the photo near the toe of the debris. Photo: GNFAC
	Avalanche Starting Zone - Onion Basin Fatality Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 Faceted snow near the ground was the obvious weak layer in this avalanche. The crown was 1-3 feet deep and propagated 150 yards wide. The slide either failed naturally or was triggered from low on the slope. Photo GNFAC
	Avalanche Crown - Onion Basin Fatality Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 This slide caught two snowmobilers resulting in one fatality. The slide either failed naturally or was triggered from low on the slope. Photo GNFAC
	Tracks leading into the scene Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 Tracks in this photo show where 2 riders entered the area right before the avalanche occurred. A third rider did not arrive until about a half hour after the avalanche happened. Photo: GNFAC
	Partial Burial Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 One rider was partially buried in these trees. His snowmobile was buried there as well and one of the skis is visible. It took him approximately 30 minutes to dig himself out. Photo: GNFAC
	Sunset on Gallatin Crest Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 Sunset on the Gallatin Range crest. An avalanche left of the ridge was likely triggered by a cornice breaking. Photo: B. VandenBos.
	Large natural avalanche near Divide Peak Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 Large slide just down the ridge to the west of Divide. It looks like this was triggered by the collapse of a big cornice. Photo: B. VandenBos
	Avalanches on Divide Peak Northern Gallatin, 2014-01-02 Numerous slides west of Divide Pk. Strong winds were loading both over the top of this ridge as well as along slope from left to right. Photo: B. VandenBos
	Cooke City, Miller Ridge Cooke City, 2014-01-02 From Beartooth Powder Guides, "Today, on a tour up Sheep Creek, I found protected North facing powder about 18" deep and perfect riding conditions. Saw large new snow avalanche off of Miller Ridge on West,SW slope that looked like it had just happened this AM. Pretty broad (100 yards wide in the run out zone)." Photo: B. Zavora
	Above Fairy Lake Bridger Range, 2014-01-01 Mark Staples found 7 inches of dense (15%) new snow on a snowpack almost 5 feet deep. Two feet off the ground facets broke in the Extended Column Test. It's taking more force to get this layer to break, which is a sign of stengthening. Photo: GNFAC
	Buck Natural Avalanche Northern Madison, 2014-01-01 This small slide occurred just off Buck Ridge in 1st Yellowmule. It occurred without a human trigger which is a bad sign. Avalanches happening on their own, mean we can easily trigger them. Photo: B. Ashe
	Avalanche near Lionhead Lionhead Range, 2013-12-29 A group of riders near Lionhead were riding on small but steep slopes. One rider got stuck and his buddy came to help dig him out. The slope avalanched burying multiple sleds and one rider up to his neck. Nobody in the group was carrying rescue gear. Photo APG
	Teepee Basin Small Avalanche Southern Madison, 2013-12-28 This slide occurred in upper Teepee Basin. It was snowmobile triggered. Photo: GNFAC
