Natural Avalanche Cooke City

Natural Avalanche Cooke City

This is the SE bowl on Scotch Bonnet Mountain near Cooke City.  The yellow line is roughly the location of the avalanche crown.  About the same time this picture was taken, a rider triggered and was caught in an avalanche on the south end of Henderson Mtn near the burned area.  Photo: GNFAC
