Storm Watch is in effect for Beaverhead, Gallatin and Madison
counties above 6,000 ft starting late Sunday night, lasting into
Tuesday morning. Snow accumulation in the 6-12" range will be
possible above 6,000 ft elevation near Dillon, West Yellowstone, and
Big Sky.

Fuck Ullr, I can wait another month.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 10-08-2021, 06:08 PM

I'm still in MTB mode for another month. Early snow just fucks up the snowpack anyway, right?

**Bunion 2020** · 10-08-2021, 06:24 PM

There is that, personally I really love Indian summer and want it to last.

Something about that low angle light at the end of the day when the wind has stopped and it is still warm but you know that within about an hour you will need a jacket.

I'm just glad we're done with the smoke and finally getting some moisture.

Fall season always lands a foot or two in SW Montana, so I think what we need is mega snow in November and Dec!

Bring on the BBowl touring zone!

Played a walk-on round at Old Works on Tuesday and rode empty CC trails today. October is the shit. Helps restore a tiny bit of faith in why I live in Montana.

Anyone going up to the BB Assoc. picnic on Sunday?

**lifelinksplit** · 10-09-2021, 10:48 AM

Got my woodstove/chimney fixed and had the 1st fire of the season, ready for winter! Also might hit the bike park after this moisture. Yeehaw!

**schindlerpiste** · 10-10-2021, 10:11 AM

Funny. I see Papa John Creech with a dragon tail laying on his back strumming on a mandolin. .....on his high horse Mescalito...

**SUPERIOR** · 10-10-2021, 06:57 PM

I have to go to work for two weeks, so somebody do me a favor and post the Bridger bowl WebCam pic showing the first mad rush to ski grass and dirt.

Ps. October has delivered before!

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 10-11-2021, 07:11 AM

Driving the canyon will be fun today. Snow looks wet as to be expected.

**Bunion 2020** · 10-11-2021, 07:28 AM

At least the pavement was pretty warm, tomorrow with be the bitch. Doesn't help that I had to drive down there on Saturday and Sunday to look at construction sites already struggling due to rain on Thursday and Friday.

Fuck it, this is the life I have chosen, bring on winter I guess.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 10-11-2021, 07:33 AM

Everyone has had a pretty good seven months weather wise for building, they shouldn't be crying that much.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 10-11-2021, 07:42 AM

I moved here in September 2008. In October I was working on a job downtown when the first snow came. Walking into the jobsite I joked, "what's this white shit on the ground?". Guy I was with replied, "we call this the welcome mat, cali boy."

I'm thinking of all the new residents out there white knuckling it this morning.

Didn't see or hear much crying. Most every site I went to was vacant. Somehow everyone was surprised by the snowstorm.

Drive sucked to Beckman Flats with lots of people managing to drive off the road. Once past there is was not bad. Biggest gripe was my antenna on my truck kept icing and then it would gyrate wildly. Back home now watching the Braves/Brewers.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 10-11-2021, 04:39 PM

Yeah, the canyon wasn't too bad this am. Nice and wet now to freeze hard tonight. At Home Depot this AM the three other people in line were bundled up big time (shit it was barely freezing) and buying snow shovels.
