Free education is always great, especially from the Friends of the Avalanche Center. This Tuesday, January 5th, join us online for a free 1 hour talk about avalanche safety.
Gallatin County will get up to 5" of snow and very gusty winds through Monday night until about 9am Tuesday morning. Even small amounts of snow combined with wind will create poor visibility.
Dangerous avalanche conditions exist in Montana's western mountain ranges: The southern Swan, southern Missions, Rattlesnake and the central and southern Bitterroot Mountains
Last season, Alex Marienthal of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche center stopped by the Moose studio to talk about three items that you need to have in order to be prepared for an avalanche.
