Moose Ski Report

Many counties in southwest Montana are expecting a decent blanket of mountain snow by Tuesday afternoon. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for nearly a dozen counties.

We might have quite a mess on our hands...a Winter Storm Warning (that's the big deal one), is in effect for Gallatin and Madison Counties until Noon on Tuesday. Several inches of snow is expected in the valleys with up to 18" of snow to accumulate in the mountains.

Quite frankly, I was happy to have a ski season AT ALL last year even though making reservations was a pain. Bridger Bowl and other ski areas that used a sign-up system to limit traffic, don't expect to be using that this 2021-2022 ski season.

Before you freak out, think about how hard it must be to open a ski area adhering to current guidelines and having no idea what a few months from now will look like.

Another layer of snow, along with gusty winds, are headed to southwest Montana with several inches of snow possible in the valleys and up to 10" possible in the mountains.

Heavy snow and high winds are expected over all southwest Montana passes Friday night and most of Saturday. Travel could be dangerous at times.

Snow continues to fall around Gallatin County and the highest elevations may get up to a foot of fresh snow by Sunday night.

A mid March storm is headed for SW Montana and the highest elevations could get up to 10 fresh inches of snow, with at least a few inches expected in the valleys.

All of these Montana closing dates are subject to change at each ski resort's discretion, depending on end of season snow conditions and other factors. Several Montana areas have flexibility in their closing dates.

Gusty winds up to 60 MPH will be an issue for Livingston, Springdale, and other areas on the I-90 corridor until Wednesday night.

Very gusty winds continue between Bozeman and Billings with Wind Advisories for places like Big Timber. Gusts up to 60 mph are possible.
