episode_narrativeHeavy snow and wind loading on weak snow layers New Year's Eve day led to an unstable snowpack to begin the New Year.
event_narrativeThree snowmobilers were involved in an avalanche approximately 1 mile northwest of Lake Dinah, or about 12 miles northwest of Seeley Lake. The riders were caught and carried a short distance; two were fully buried, and one extricated himself after being separated from his snowmobile. The dimensions of the avalanche were 560 feet long, 100 feet wide, and an average of 6 feet deep. The two riders who were fully buried could not be saved, thus two fatalities occurred as a result of the avalanche.
