Skiing the slopes in Pebble Creek was pretty awful - very wind affected. But the exit to the highway was great.

While driving into Cooke City this afternoon I saw recent large (D2) natural avalanches on north and northwest aspects above Silver Gate, and there was a large avalanche in the main gully on Town Hill (southerly aspect) above Cooke (photos attached).
From IG message 3/11/23: "...yesterday, at Fairy Lake, very windy and this slid naturally sometime between when we got to the area at noon and 3oclock. There was also a smaller natural wind slab in the northern bowl with arrowhead. Observed wind loading all day."

We rode up Lulu Pass at 8AM on 3/11/23 and saw the debris from a large D2.5-3 avalanche on the SE face of Fisher Mtn. Similar slide path to the large avalanche on Fisher earlier this season.
Several avalanches observed D2-D2.5.
Crown depth 80-120cm
