Northern Gallatin, 2019-01-10

Snowmobilers up Portal Creek in the northern Gallatin Range experienced cracking/collapsing and triggered this small avalanche. The slide broke 1' foot deep and nearly 100' wide. Fortunately, nobody was caught. Avalanche activity is the best indicator the snowpack is unstable. Photo: A. Donovan

This small slide failed failed naturally on a wind loaded slope. Although not large, it's bull's eye information avalanches are possible in steep, wind loaded terrain. Photo: A. Wheeler

This recent slab avalanche was observed in the Taylor Fork on Wednesday, Jan. 9th. It appears to have failed naturally on weak facets near the ground. Avalanche activity is the number one sign the snowpack is unstable. Although avalanches are becoming harder to trigger without new snow and wind, recent activity is a clear reminder avalanches remain possible. Photo: A Wheeler

Skiers got this wind loaded slope to collapse and crack from an adjacent slope. A poor snow structure of facets underlying a harder wind slab was the culprit. Photo: D. Zinn

Cooke City, 2019-01-08

We found a highly variable snowpack north of Cooke City today. This snowpit was on a south-facing slope on Scotch Bonnet, which had a thin snowpack with poor structure. We also found a deeper, stronger snowpack on a northeast aspect near Wolverine. Photo: GNFAC

Lionhead Range, 2019-01-08

Avalanche triggered remotely by a snowmobiler near Lionhead Ridge on January 7, 2019. From email "24 inch crown and about 200 feet wide... on an easterly wind loaded slope"

From email: "Sastrugi on a S facing slope on Divide Peak after a wind event. All previous ski tracks were blown in and a breakable windcrust 2-5cm thick formed on the surface, with large drifts in the basin." Photo: B. McLandress

Lionhead Range, 2019-01-06

A snowpit on Lionhead revealed two weak layers. One was under wind blown snow; the other was 1.5 feet above the ground on a thick layer of sugary facets. Photo: GNFAC

"Toured up goose Creek today, upper Meadows have about 100cm of snow. There is a thick layer of large grain facets unerneath the most recent snow. An extended column gave results of ECT NP 11." Photo: T. Schlotfeldt
