Sled rentals

It hurts me to say that at this time, I'm not renting. When people started booking early, I told them that if the snow doesn't come I won't be renting. Just don't want people to have to pay for damages. I'm thinking of you guys. Just not enough snow. Thought I'd try last Sunday and had one damaged, like totaled. It was one of the alpha's.

Sorry guys. As soon as we get more snow, I'll start.

Surprise

Morning from Bearclaw and the Super 8 motel. Came down stairs this morning to find light snow. The snowman is fooling us at this time. He's still showing partly cloudy to sunny skies for the next 3 days. But he has increased the percentage of snow for Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep up the snow dance.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Four days without snow or heavy wind-loading makes avalanches unlikely to be trigger. Remain cautious of wind-loaded slopes and assess the consequences of being caught in even a small slide. Today, generally safe avalanche conditions exist and the avalanche danger is rated LOW.

If your looking for Avy packs to buy or rent, we have them. We do fill avy tanks. I've got another shipment of BCA RADIO's in stock. They are the new 2.0 version. ... See more

SITLL COLD

Morning from BRRRRRRRRRRRR cold Cooke City. The snowman won't give up the cold. Its 15 below. Today we can see mid 20's and a low around zero tonight. The snowman changed his mind for the snow coming in next week. He has it now where we can see two days of snow and the percentage went to 50%. Keep up the snow dance.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Today, human triggered avalanches are possible on wind loaded slopes which have a MODERATE avalanche danger. Non-wind loaded slopes have a LOW avalanche danger.

We'll have another post tomorrow.

CHILLY

I've got to say how chilly it is this morning. It's CHILLY, 20 below. The snowman is calling for warmer temp's next week when the snow moves into the picture. Today we will see a high of upper teens to 20. Tonight we could see again below zero temp's.

Lets keep the snow dance going for a couple of weeks. It's been a few years since I've seen this kind of a condition here in Cooke.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: Today, human triggered avalanches are possible on wind loaded slopes which have a MODERATE avalanche danger. Non-wind loaded slopes have a LOW avalanche danger.

CHILLY START

Morning from sub zero temp's. It's a slow start to the snow season. I could use help with the snow dance. The snowman is looking at snow moving into the forecast next week for 3 days. The highest percentage is only 50 %. Dance, Dance, Dance the day away.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: The southern Madison, southern Gallatin and mountains outside Cooke City received wind-loading yesterday that is the primary concern today. Recently formed wind slabs could be triggered by a skier or snowmobiler. For today the avalanche danger is rated MODERATE on wind-loaded slopes and LOW on all others.

I hope every one had a good weekend. ... See more

Sunny and Windy

Got home this morning to find windy conditions here in Cooke city. Yesterday was over cast with traces of new snow. The snowman is calling for sunny to partly sunny skies for the next 6 days. Snow will be moving back into the picture next week.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS: For today, the powdery snow at the surface will be blown into drifts creating a MODERATE avalanche danger on all wind-loaded slopes and a LOW danger elsewhere.

CHILLY

Morning from Chilly Cooke City. Hope every one had a good weekend. The snowman was right, it's 8 below. He's predicting 9 more days of sunny skies and below zero with high's in the mid 20's. On the 10 day the snowman is calling for snow.

AVALANCHE CONDITIONS:A generally stable snowpack with minimal wind and light snow makes avalanche danger today LOW.

Bakery had another great day with over 45 people having a great breakfast. If you haven't been in, check it out.

Forgot to mention the avalanche report. New snow and wind make human triggered avalanches possible on wind loaded slopes which have MODERATE avalanche danger. Non-wind loaded slopes have a LOW avalanche danger.
