Notes
GNFAC forecasters watched a natural avalanche come down from Republic Mountain from the motel door in Cooke City at 8 am on 12/21/22. Couldn't see details of the slide other than the debris running over the cliffs and powder cloud in the trees below. Likely involved new and windlbown snow, but that is pure speculation.
A local guide reported watching several other natural avalanches running off Republic Mountain as he drove into Cooke City around 7:30 am.
