Snow

Morning from Bearclaw/bakery and the Super 8. It's coming, SNOW. The snowman was telling me snow was coming. I told him it was the help of everyone dancing. We could see up to a foot of snow by tomorrow morning. The sad thing is because of this big snow storm today. It has shorten the rest of the weeks snow. We are looking at 4 days of snow. Keep dancing, we need snow.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: The snowpack is strong and stable in many areas, yet unstable in a few others. Weak layers mid-pack, and near the ground in shallow areas have the potential to avalanche as evidenced by Saturday’s snowmobiler triggered slide on the south face of Mt. Abundance. For today, the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE on wind-loaded slopes and MODERATE on all others.

If your looking at booking at the Super 8, don't forget to mention the snowest discount. Make sure you tell them when booking.

The bakery is doing well, Terri thanks everyone that stops in. ... See more

Winter storm warnings

Afternoon from Cooke city. The snowman is calling for a Winter storm warning tonight through Thursday night. Strong winds and up to a foot of snow. We'll see what's blown in. I think its going to stay north of us again. We can see snow for another 7 more days.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Saturday’s snowmobile triggered slide on Mt. Abundance appears to have broken on that weak snow near the ground. Before riding into steep terrain, dig down to make sure you aren’t dealing with these reactive weak layers.

On wind loaded slopes, triggering an avalanche is likely and the avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. On non-windloaded slopes, the avalanche danger is MODERATE.

Afternoon from Cooke city. It snowed over night an inch. The snowman is calling for 6 more days of snow as you can see that the days have went down. Some one isn't dancing hard enough. Keep up the dancing.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Be on the lookout for slabs in unusual locations due to less common east winds. Today, small fresh drifts of snow are likely and wind loaded slopes have a MODERATE avalanche danger. Avalanche danger is LOW on non-wind loaded slopes.

Overcast

Afternoon from Bearclaw/bakery and the Super 8 motel. We had some sun this morning but it has become overcast. The snowman is calling for a 50% for Saturday and Sunday. Monday we have a 50% chance. Keep up the snow dance so we don't loose chances of snow for the next 9 days.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Winds yesterday and last night likely created wind drifts at the ridgelines and in gullies that will crack and potentially avalanche. For today, avalanches on wind drifts and deeper in the snowpack are possible and the danger is rated MODERATE.

Colder and clear

Morning from chilly Cooke city. The subzero weather found us. It's 18 below and by 4 pm we could see 4 above. Yes it's going to continue tomorrow also. Tomorrow we will again see snow moving in for 9 days. Keep up the snow dance.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: In the mountains around Bozeman, Big Sky and Cooke City, the main avalanche concern is on slopes that were wind-loaded with new snow in the last 5 days. A skier outside Cooke City got collapses indicating lingering instability. For today, the avalanche danger is rated MODERATE on all slopes.

Sledders took advantage keeping sleds in a warm garage last night here. Remember if you need to work on your sleds in a warm garage come see me. I also carry lots of parts for most sleds.

Sunny

Afternoon from Cooke city. The snowman gave us 2 more inches of snow over night. Today it will be sunny. But the snowman is still calling for more snow. Lets wait and see.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: A less likely but more dangerous problem will be avalanches breaking 2-3’ deep on facets near the ground. This problem mainly exists on slopes with a thinner-weaker snowpack. Sings of instability such as cracking/collapsing are becoming less likely so digging to assess the snowpack structure is recommended before committing to steep terrain.

Today, human triggered avalanches are possible and the avalanche danger is rated MODERATE. ... See more

SUNNY

Evening from Cooke city. Here is a recap from Sunday till now. Sunday, we picked up about 3 inches of snow by night. Monday, it started snowing in the morning and the snowman was good to us. Picked up about 8-10 inches. Tuesday, I plowed all day. We could still see a couple more inches before it's all over. The snowman is telling me that we have another day of snow for tomorrow, then clear skies for Thursday. After that we have a chance of snow for 7 more days. Keep up the snow dance.

AVALANCHE CONDITION'S: While the snowpack is working to accommodate the new load, steer clear of new wind drifts and any slope with weak snow near the ground. If in doubt, keep it simple by sticking to low angled slopes. The avalanche danger is CONSIDERABLE. ... See more
