This slide was observed in upper Goose Creek outside of Cooke City. The slope is east facing and heavily wind loaded. Steep, rocky, wind loaded terrain will continue to be likely areas to produce avalanches. Photo B. Fredlund 

This natural slide occurred in Tepee Basin in the souther Madison Range. Wind loaded slopes, specifically those in steep-rocky terrain are likley areas to produce avalnaches. Photo E. Heaps 

This slide occurred on Wednesday (1-15-14) just above Cabin Creek and under Skyline Ridge in the Southern Madison Range. Photo: W. Bennett

This slide was triggered by a cornice that wasn't much heavier than a skier. It broke on a layer of facets 38 cm above the ground (about a foot). This slope was not recently wind loaded and almost faces due north. The slab ranged from 2-4 feet deep but averaged about 3 feet deep. Photo: GNFAC

Any skier or rider caught in this slide in the Dogleg Chute north of Bridger Bowl would have taken a nasty ride. The slide ran nearly 1,000 vertical feet and deposited debris 4-5 feet deep. Photo GNFAC
