"We observed at least a half a dozen recent/ fresh slab avalanches north of Cooke City today. These slab avalanches were found: on all aspects, near ridgelines, and also on many aprons." Photo: B. Fredlund

On a wind loaded, rocky slope off the summit of Bald Mountain we triggered a remote slide about a 100 across from us while skiing. Conditions elsewhere in the area were decent, but the exposed, wind loaded slopes showed activity with whoomping and cracks, and the one avalanche. None where hurt or caught. Conditions were as advised in the avalanche report.

"Skinning around in the Lionhead range today on under 20° slopes we heard whumphing and saw shooting cracks several times over 4 miles."
