avalanche report

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.

A fresh round of snow is headed our way, with several inches for mainly southern regions of Gallatin and Madison counties.

Avalanche Information from the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

The Bridger Range saw quite a bit less than other areas.

Bozeman folks have the best of both worlds: easy access to the outdoors AND easy access to some of the best avalanche education tools in the country. Our Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center exists to keep us safe and the amount of education they supply is amazing.

Heads up! TONIGHT (Monday Jan 22nd) MAP Brewing is hosting a special pint night from 4pm to 8pm. Proceeds benefit the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center. Who says Mondays aren't made for after work beers?

Yet ANOTHER round of snow is headed for several Montana counties which should dump a few inches in town and up to a foot at pass elevation.

Be especially careful in the Lionhead area if you're heading into the back country today or tomorrow. An Avalanche Warning has been issued.

Thankfully, the initial reports of the young man's injuries turned out to be incorrect. The 14 year old from Salt Lake City suffered only a sprained wrist.

Winter isn't done with us yet. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued from Wednesday night through Friday morning with up to a foot of snow possible in the highest elevations.

Perhaps THIS will be the next storm that actually hits Bozeman and the surrounding area. The highest elevations could see up to 10 inches with perhaps just a few in town. High winds should affect the entire county,

We're expecting another round of snow and wind in Bozeman and surrounding areas, especially the mountain passes. Up to 10 inches of snow may fall by Monday afternoon in the highest elevations.
