RIP for a rider caught in Cooke City

[MTdream]

We lost another rider in the hills in Cooke...Very weak base layer, and several feet of new snow made it treacherous to just be out...


Yes there is great pow, but no ride is worth the pain left behind!!!

Please be careful out there!!!

Here is quote from gallatin national forest avy center...

"AVALANCHE FATALITY*

I am saddened to report that a snowmobiler was killed in an avalanche yesterday outside Cooke City. The snowmobiler triggered and was buried on a northeast facing slope in Fisher Creek which broke one to four feet deep and 3-400 feet wide.* He was dug up within 10-12 minutes, but did not survive.* Eric and his partner witnessed the avalanche and assisted in the rescue.* All of us at the Avalanche Center send our deepest sympathies to family and friends. Additionally, last night Eric informed me that a cross country skier was caught and buried south of Cooke City. More details are forthcoming on both these incidents.*"
