Notes
While riding north of Cooke City we noted many natural avalanches on east, west, and south-facing slopes at all elevations. Crowns ranged in depth from 1-2'. Most of these avalanches were not side very wide but several were including, Crown Butte, Henderson Mountain, and Miller Ridge. All of these avalanches happened near the end of yesterday's storm.
