Hayden, I saw your FB post the other day.
Yeah, be careful. It's REALLY nasty out there.
I had a guy from the West Cent. MT Avy center in my class the other day...they went out mid week (LAST week) and did a class up over in Brushy Fork/Spruce Creek under Beaver Ridge.
He said it was REALLY spooky and eerie. They heard more "whoomf" sounds that day than they all collectively had ever heard previous in their entire lives. They witness SEVERAL and natural slides that day. When they came out, they saw evidence of others.
From the sounds of it, I can bet they were never so happy to get back to their vehicles at the end of the day.
And that was a week ago he told me this. There has been more rain AND 3 more feet of snow since then.

Scary, scary stuff Scott, thank you for posting. Meadow mashing for me this weekend.
Trying to get out and enjoy this snow safely and it feels like everyone is out of town or broke-down this weekend.
Anyone looking for a low angle buddy on Sunday should hit me up. I am in MSLA!

You must have taken it to Power Products.
What was there excuse for it taking so long?
I hope so.... In the mean time I really enjoy watching my little backyard boondocker tear it up, he only crashed twice last trip..... I just watch and smile and giggle the whole time, it's awesome....

Well fellas, I'm sad to say that after 18 years I am no longer in the sled/atv/side by side business. It's been great getting to know everyone as customers as well as friends, and I wouldn't know many of you without my employment by Bliss Cycle (now Pure Bliss), Kurt's Polaris, and Hamilton Polaris....Without a doubt, the best friends that I have made have been since my move to this side of the mountains away from the flat lands of Montana haha. It's been great getting to know you all, and I look forward to us all hanging out and riding more as friends now that I'm no longer in the industry. I'll be back in Missoula, and working at Karl Tyler as a service advisor starting the 10th of March. Excited for the new opportunity, but sad to leave the industry I love and that has meant so much to me, but getting burned out being around the machines all day makes it tough to get excited to get out on the weekends....enough with the babble....cheers (where the hell is the beer icon?) and stay in touch....
