This slide was triggered on Woody Ridge south of Cooke City. The skier who triggered the slide impacted the weak layer on the lookers left side of the crown where the snowpack is thin. The weak layer collapsed and propagated into a much deeper part of the snowpack creating a large and destructive avalanche. Photo GNFAC
