MSLA Dawn Patrols?

[SherpaStyle]

Is there a Missoula dawn patrol contingent? I have to be in MSLA for a fire class all next week. Just when the skiing's getting good... Are there any options for quick am trips so I don't lose my sanity sitting under floro lights talking about fire in the middle of winter?

What time do your classes start? Not much is realistic for true dawn patrols, since the closest non-lift accessed BC is almost an hour away at Lolo.

8:00, maybe 10 on Monday

Yeah, kinda what RootSkier said. There isn't the luxury of anything being too close (if the reason you are looking to DP to get back early to town). Most of the bigger/better tours around here consists of gnar approaches on icey roads (see chaining up your vehicle) THEN snomoing closer THEN skinning.

I have Saturday off, so we could probably hook up then.
