According to Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center Director, Doug Chabot, the three skiers that were caught in the avalanche are reportedly from the Bozeman area.
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.
Madison and Gallatin counties are under a Winter Storm Watch for Sunday which is expected to bring several inches of snow to the Bozeman and Ennis areas, with more expected in the mountains.
