A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF SOUTHWEST MONTANA.

A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT SOUTHWEST MONTANA THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY. SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES IS POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF BEAVERHEAD...MADISON...AND GALLATIN COUNTIES. THIS INCLUDES THE AREAS AROUND WISDOM...BIG SKY...WEST YELLOWSTONE AND MONIDA PASS ON INTERSTATE 15. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEYS...WITH 8 TO 14 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. GUSTY WINDS COULD WILL ALSO LEAD TO AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...AS WELL AS REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.

 

[B-Radical]

I am guestimating that there will be a 25+ inch snowstorm between Island Park and Big Sky over a period beginning Dec 28 in the evening and ending sometime new years Eve.
Be WARNED!!!! It will be blowing and very dangerous driving so you must get to WYS before the 28th and bring your shovels and bungees!

I hate to say I told you so!!!

trailer??? i dont have no stinking trailer... im renting sleds.. remember??

also, MY crew consistes of me, a buddy, his wife (who wont be riding) his daughter (will be riding with my buddy) and my wife.. so, the best wayto put this is, dont come down strictly on my account because i will have to drag them along.. i will get probably 2 days of riding without all them though.. i just dont know which 2.. yet...

thing is, my crew is VERY inexperienced... i think i can handle my own but, my wife and buddy have never been off trail!!!!

Be careful what you wish for....
this crew has been known to find open creeks, and box canyons that almost require helo extraction. Not to mention tree wells and boulders. LOL

Just remember if they say to you "go first and see if you can make it" really means... if this "sucker" gets through on the rental without hitting anything we can follow his track and not take the chance of busting our sleds up....LOL
