Heavy snow has continued to fall in parts of southwest Montana, in addition to a tragic death this past weekend, prompting yet another very important Avalanche Warning to be issues this morning.

Cooke City received about a foot of fresh snow overnight, prompting an advisory to be issued. Be careful out there and here are the details...

Due to the heavy snowfall overnight, Bozeman area mountains are under an Avalanche Warning from the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center.

If you heard today's Avalanche Report on The Moose, you know that the current Avalanche Danger across southwest Montana is rated as Moderate, but that doesn't mean that slides can not easily be triggered in the backcountry. Mark Staples from the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center demonstrated this yesterday in Cooke City. Check it out.
