Miller Avalanche Path

Looking up the path of the avalanche that killed a snowmobiler today (Feb 22, 2012). The accident happened immediately off  the Miller road towards Daisy Pass outside Cooke City. The slide occurred as he turned his sled around at the road's edge.  He was not on a steep slope, nor was the avalanche path obvious.  The slide buried and killed the rider.  He was dug up quickly but did not survive.  Two other riders was partially buried, but uninjured, with arms sticking out of the snow, and a fourth was buried up to his knees.  Three machines were completely buried.  Photo: B.
