The trigger of this avalanche was unknown but was seen by riders on the morning of 03/03/2024 and the UYSC groomer on the night of 03/02/2024. Photo: N. Stayner
From email: "Two big avalanches observed above the “plug” east of Cooke city. on my ride over this AM. One ran to the road, unclear if it went over it and maybe the groomer ran over the debris. Appear natural or possibly snowmo triggered? "
From the top of Alp rock today saw a deep avalanche on south facing terrain above star creek
Saw two more deep avalanches in alp gully. These broke 5 get deep. One is D2 the other is D1
Watched a large avalanche come down the big Avi path on the east side of Henderson. The avalanche covered many snowmobile tracks from that afternoon. The crown varied and extended for 1,000 feet below the summit ridge. It was a huge volume of snow that reached Fisher Creek. The snowmobilers were lucky, as it was large enough to be buried deep.
Guides at Beartooth Powder Guides saw numerous natural avalanches near Cooke City. They noted new snow avalanches on most slopes steeper than 30 degrees. Additionally, they saw several avalanches that broke several feet deep on east, southeast, and southwest-facing terrain.

Riders triggered a very large avalanche on the east side of Henderson Mountain while riding across a slope below. No one was caught in the avalanche and the debris pile was estimated 20' deep in spots.
