Went over the Beartooth passe yesterday at 4:30 pm and found a couple of inches of snow on it.

03/19/2016

Cold and clear skies

Woke up to another below zero reading (-5) The snowman is telling me that it will warm up. I told him, what JULY. Tomorrow we will see mid 30's and Sunday lower 40's. Monday we could see a 60% chance of snow and rain with a high around 40. Then is starts cooling down again in the mid 30's.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: An additional concern today will be wet loose avalanches. This problem will be most widespread on steep, sun exposed slopes. With plenty of fresh snow to move around, wet loose avalanches could be larger than one might expect. Wet loose avalanches also make good triggers for larger slab avalanches.

Today, both dry snow and wet snow avalanches are possible and the avalanche danger is rated MODERATE.

After noon to everyone. I got behind giving you updates. Sorry!! So this morning it was 5 below. with clear skies. We will see a warming trend coming. But before it hits we will see 9 below tonight. We have a 10 % chance of snow Sunday.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Skiers near Cooke City yesterday observed natural activity from previous days on wind-loaded terrain, and another group experienced large collapses that were failing on buried facets. Two days ago my partner and I foun...

What the storm brought

Since Sunday night, we picked up 3 inches Monday morning and by this morning we picked up another 3 inches. Most of the snow that fell melted. Will give you a better update later today.

Still in a Warning

The snowman didn't come thru with the foot. We ended up with about 3 inches in town. We are still in a warning till 6pm tonight. We could still see 8 more inches fall today.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: human triggered avalanches are likely on wind loaded slopes steeper than 35 degrees which have a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. All other slops have a MODERATE avalanche danger.

WARNING,WARNING

The snowman has put us in a winter storm warning until Monday 6 pm. We could see up to a foot of snow when its all done. I'll let you know what we get in the morning.

Snow
Good morning from the little town of Cooke city. We've picked up about an inch in town about 5-6 inches on the mountain. The snowman is calling for another 2-3 inches by tomorrow. But look out. The temp's are dropping down to the single digits by tomorrow night. We could see snow till Wednesday with a high in the mid 30's and the low at 1 above.

If you would like to see what the weather is doing in town, check out my web cams. I'm going to install another one showing the weather on it. bearclawsalesandservice.com

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Wind deposited snow will also be adding stress to weak layers buried 1-3 feet deep. A few days ago, a large slide occurred in the Lionhead area near West Yellowstone. It’s unknown how this slide was triggered, but it was likely caused by snowmobilers. The slide occurred on a wind loaded slope and appears to have failed on a weak layer buried 1-2 feet deep. Skiers also triggered a small slab avalanche on a wind loaded slope in the northern Gallatin Range yesterday. This slide failed on facets 1-2 feet below the surface.

Today – human triggered avalanches are likely on wind loaded slopes steeper than 35 degrees which have a CONSIDERABLE avalanche danger. All other slops have a MODERATE avalanche danger.

Every one made it thru another year at the HOG ROAST. Thanks to the town for putting it on. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

I would like to thank everyone that has showed up in town for the support that you give us. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here.

HOG ROAST

Don't forget about the Hog Roast this weekend.

The snowman drop about an inch of fresh powder on the mountain last night. But he is also tell me that the temp's for the next couple of days will reach 50 degrees.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Today, new snow, buried weak layers, and lingering wind slabs make avalanches possible and the danger is rated MODERATE on all slopes.

Let it snow

Let it snow, not rain says the snowman. The forecast doesn't look promising. We have a chance of snow tomorrow, but then we have a chance of rain shower thru Thursday. The temps are looking like they will be in the mid to upper 50's. We've seen up to 6-8 inches on the mountain of fresh snow.

Don't forget the HOG roast is this weekend.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: The mountains south of Big Sky and near Cooke City have weak layers of either surface hoar or facets, which are buried 1-3 feet deep. Avalanches last weekend near Lulu Pass, Republic Mountain, and Pebble Creek likely failed on facets buried 1-2 feet deep. Last weekend I investigated the instabilities near Cooke City and decided that no matter the weak layer, there was enough recent snow and a poor structure to elevate the avalanche danger. Karl was at Bacon Rind yesterday and found unstable test results on the surface hoar layer and got a large collapse while skinning. Moderate winds combined with 6-8” of snow since Monday will be enough to keep these weak layers on edge. Today, buried weak layers and wind-loading make the avalanche danger MODERATE.

FROZEN MIX

The snowman might turn into a rain man today. We are going to see a 70% chance of frozen mix. Tomorrow will see a lower temp with a 30% chance of snow showers. At 5 a.m. there is no new snow to report and mountain temps range from the 20s to 30s F. Winds are blowing 15-30 mph out of S-SW. Today, a storm will move into the area producing widespread valley rain and mountain snow. Precipitation will begin by late morning-early afternoon and will continue through the day. Expect strong winds and rapidly dropping temperatures as the storm moves into the area.
It not to bad riding if you wait until 10 before you go out.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Today, new and windblown snow will be adding stress to buried weak layers along with creating new snow instabilities. Pay close attention to changing conditions and avoid steeper terrain if new snow and wind increase the avalanche hazard.

Today, human triggered avalanches are possible and the avalanche danger is rated MODERATE. The avalanche danger could rise to CONSIDERABLE on wind loaded slopes with the arrival of today’s storm.

SUNNY

We had a blizzard yesterday that lasted about an hour and dumped about 2 inches in town, but we had wind guest up to 50 mph. Today we will see sun with temp's in the upper 30's. Tomorrow we will see a 30% chance of snow and snow showers.

Sorry to say I'm out of the Link radio. I will get some more in.

We did have a guy get a broken leg. No other issues.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS:Wind slabs and buried surface hoar make avalanches possible to trigger today and the avalanche danger is MODERATE.

Partly cloudy

I didn't have to plow, got busy in the garage. We picked up about 4 inches in town. The mountain received up to a foot in places. It was awesome riding up around Round Lake today.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS:Today, small avalanches in isolated areas or extreme terrain are possible, but generally safe avalanche conditions exist and the avalanche danger is rate LOW.
