Hi Kurt,
How long is Cave in town for. Harley, Johnny Love, and myself are heading out west on the 29th and I am wondering if we should come to WY in the beginning of the trip or toward the end. We are also going to hit the Grey's River area. Drop me a PM and let me know the scoop. I won't be bringing "Aunt Sally" along on this trip but I will be bringing a new toy. No it is not a life size blow up doll for you!! Looking forwared to seeing the gang. This will be my first trip out. YeeeeHaaaa!!! See you soon.

Snow and Avy Report
Hey Guys,
Thinking about heading down soon. I have heard about snow down in Bozeman and over in Cooke...Have you gotten much around West as well?
How are the AVY conditions? Does it seem better now than late January?
The 12 hour drive brings out the 20 question game.
Thank you

Picked up snow!
SNOWPACK AND AVALANCHE DISCUSSION
The southern Gallatin and southern Madison Ranges, including the Lionhead area near West Yellowstone, the mountains around Cooke City and the Washburn Range:
Recall that prior to this week observers were finding a variety of weak layers on a number of different slopes buried about a foot below the snow surface. Since Monday new snow has been piling onto these buried weak layers, with about 1.5 to 2 feet of new snow in the southern Madison Range and the mountains around West Yellowstone, and nearly three feet blanketing the mountains around Cooke City. The largest dose of new snow fell in the past 24 hours, and winds from the southwest to the northwest have been easily transporting this low density new snow onto the lee sides of ridges, gullies and other terrain features. The snowpack is straining under this recent, rapid loading. With our new snow I’d expect you’d find our buried weak layers anywhere from 2.5 to 4 feet deep, and possibly deeper on some wind loaded slopes. Needless to say, these could make for some large and dangerous avalanches. I think we’ll be seeing some natural avalanche activity today, and that you would be quite likely to trigger avalanches on many steep slopes. For today, I’d call the avalanche danger HIGH on all slopes steeper than 35 degrees and CONSIDERABLE in less steep terrain. Today is going to be a day to definitely dial it back. The snowpack will need some time to adjust to the new snow load

Planning to come out to west here this weekend but the weather looks like its been warm out there lately but maybe a little snow tonight. Coming from minnesota and just wondering how the conditions are and if its worth the drive out there. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
The last snow we got was a wetter one, and will set up fast. Yesterday it was 44 here in town and there talking 40 today with rain/snow. There is a good chance of snow the next four to five days. I don't know if I would make the trip from MN now or not...............
After viewing the 2010 Cats, you probably will see me on a new buggy next winter = M8 153" Limited. That decision also solved the track length choice. Now to peddle off the old M7.
That decision also solved the track length choice. Now to peddle off the old M7. Thanks for the info Goldenwest. The forecast does look like you may pick up some fresh so I will just have to wait and see what the weather does. Do you think you will have a room available for Friday and Saturday night if we decide to come?
Headed down thur night.
6 of us headed down for the weekend. Sure hope there is some snow left to play in. Gonna have fun no matter what. Need a vacation thats for sure.
