PHOTOS: Massive Wet Slab Avalanche at the Yellowstone Club

On May 19th, 2020, a large wet slab naturally released on the northeastern aspect of Montana's Yellowstone Club. The Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center sent personnel to investigate the slide, and determined that the slide was triggered by a cornice fall.

The slab's crown depth ranged between four and nine feet over an 1800-foot width. Luckily, no one was caught in the slide, though it did hit one of the resort's lift towers.

The slide ran nearly 1000 feet downhill, leaving a large debris field of churned-up slabs of dense, old snow:
