We triggered this avalanche of wind-drifted snow as we approached very carefully from a low angle slope above, on 1/30/2020. Triggered from where Alex is standing. Near Lulu Pass outside Cooke City on a south facing slope at 10,000'. It broke within recently drifted snow, but these slabs could be enough weight to break deeper and wider on sugary layers deep in the snowpack. Photo: L. Browning
