        Well it is pissing rain and in the 40s here at Casa Bunion.

        Looks to be below freezing up at the hill, x-fingers and get up early.
        I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

          Forecast is looking great for tomorrow at Red Lodge. Not an epic dump or anything, but a few inches of fresh for a totally open mountain is always a good thing. Temps should be in the twenties this weekend.

            For the record, the rain under Swifty turned to snow after the sun went down...and it's still snowing heavily here in the meadow after 1030pm. Regardless, I'll be chasing closed lifts and open chairs tomorrow for what will appear to be the decent snow tomorrow (hopefully). Had many laughs on the chairs thinking about the "diamond wasteland" and the "absolute and total lack of snow cover," over at MLB. You should take up poetry, Mr. Wordsmith.

            BTW, megaprops to the Bobcat for getting a MT thread to stick in these parts.

            Here's to the dream of a pow-day tomorrow.
            Stay left.

              Be careful out there:http://mtavalanche.com/current

              AVALANCHE WARNING

              The Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center is issuing a Backcountry Avalanche Warning for the entire advisory area including the Bridger, Gallatin and Madison Ranges, the Lionhead area near West Yellowstone, the mountains around Cooke City. Heavy snowfall, high winds and an extremely weak snowpack are causing unstable conditions. Avalanches were occurring prior to last night’s storm. More are expected. Today the avalanche danger is HIGH on all slopes. Areas of unstable snow exist. Natural and human triggered avalanches are likely. Avalanche terrain including avalanche runout zones should be avoided.

STAY SAFE OUT THERE MT MAGS!!!!! happy new year and may ullr provide!!

                        ^^^^ now if only we could get the six thousand tourists off the hill, crazy how fast things got skied out. Lift lines on challenger and shed we're crazy, well worth it though good snow to be found! Hopefully a long day on the tram tomorrow, probably going to have to stumble from scissor bills to the pass of swifty to pass out and guarantee first chair in the morning.

                            That is a totally awesome thing to do. There are still good people in the world.
