Bozeman/Big Sky info?

I'm trying to get a plan together for next weekend. I was going to head to the Lochsa, but now I'm thinking about heading to Bozeman/Big Sky to meet up with some old friends.

Is the Gallatin running yet? What flows should I look for? What about the Madison Beartrap section? Other suggestions? I have friends in Bozeman and Big Sky, so I'd like to stay in that general area without a ton of extra driving.

Thanks!

Gallatin's been steady at 1000cfs and should start jumping tomorrow night. Warm weather coming in for at least 4 days. Should be around 1500-2300 depending on continued warm temps. Beartraps been climbing also-never quite know what they will do there.

Thanks mtcham! Looks like the flows have come up quite a bit. What's the snow look like up high? I might hike/ski one day and kayak the next.
