Tricia,
Interesting. Thanks for the post.

In the past Cooke City was good for a couple of avalanche fatalities a winter both skiers and snow machines in the back country. The combination of steep mountains and heavy winter snow around Cooke City make for slide conditions. Not much "city" in Cooke City if you have never been there.
