Anyone in montana still around?

Haven't seen any posts from anyone in montana in a while, so I geuss I'll have to do it. Riding has been not too shabby lately, 40" base at bridger already, big sky opened challenger last sunday, got some goods by ducking some ropes and catching the openings. Anyone know if the hyalite road is still drivable with a subbie? Went up there about 2 weeks ago and there was a good 3-4' base. Imagine it would be very good now if we can still get up there. Avalanche conditions are getting a little sketchy already though, set off a nice 12-18" slab in hidden chute at bridger by dropping off a big old cornice. So anyone else getting any? its out there if you search for it. later

Friend called and said he was in knee to thigh deep at Big Mountain on Thanksgiving (opening day). I'll be out there in a month.

I have been out and about. It's frequent skier week at BS, so the lifts are free w/ your card. Did a dawn patrol tour this morning at BB and found some really nice snow in the Fingers.

Stumpy didn't have enough time before he had to go to work, so we opted for the shorter tour. I just read Slippy's thread below, and it looks like the Bridger chair was open later in the day.......
