This wet snow avalanche was intentionally triggered by a ski patroller on a steep south facing slope on Lone Mountain. This slide is notable because it started as a small wet loose snow slide but quickly entrained more snow as it stepped down into facets at the ground. It deposited debris 2-4 ft deep. Photo - S.

The Friends of the Avalanche Center used a donation from Yellowstone Adventures to help purchase this avalanche beacon training park in West Yellowstone. You can search for pre-placed beacons switched on/off by a control panel. Look for it by the orange snow fence just south of the old airport. Photo: GNFAC
