Spring is typically the best time to go. Never a sure bet, but I’d rather ski April than January.

Shameless plug — Hit us up at Bell Lake Yurt for some touring options to compliment your trip.

Bring mountain bikes too.

Spring in Montana is the best season for a few reasons.

Tram line powder day second week of April.

A vote for April, awesome I'll take it. Wish I could do something other than ride lifts, but I'm with the kids so there's that.

interesting low clouds backin up against the MT mtns today... here's a GOES West image from 0900.

A summit in the Crazies or Bridgers would be a sweet spot today. Sky Island.

A cold, hard, and persistent downpour has settled over here, been going since last night. Cannot begin to explain how wonderful it is to once again have a day of full rain.

Definitely snowing up on highest peaks. That thought makes for a nice compliment to the workday.

Saw in the Jackson thread they are doing a get together of local mags. We should do the same. Campfire, state Land, byob, grill and chill.

What say the the Mt collective?

If Big Sky has a mayor it’s probably a moose

The rumor was Prince Andrew and Prince Harry were both vying to be the unelected reagents of Big Sky.

Community Week: Future of Big Sky Post Office in jeopardy

By Jason Bacaj MANAGING EDITOR

The Big Sky Post Office, which has been operated locally for 21 years on a contract basis, will close on Feb. 28, 2023, without “serious involvement” from the U.S. Postal Service, officials said on Oct. 5 at the biannual joint meeting between the Big Sky Resort Area District and the Gallatin and Madison county commissions.

Gallatin Partners, Inc. has contracted with the USPS to operate the Big Sky Post Office since 2001, said Al Malinowski, president of Gallatin Partners. Among the reasons why the organization is terminating its contract with USPS, he said, is that the current post office location is too small and Big Sky should provide postal service to the community in Gallatin Canyon, much of which is currently served by the Gallatin Gateway post office.

“We’re unwilling to continue to operate in the existing facility in the way we have,” Malinowski said. “Now a solution is necessary. There has to be a new location.”

The current post office has 1,661 post office boxes and Census data from 2020 shows that the Big Sky population is more than 3,500 people. Malinowski said his company took over the contract to operate the post office from the Big Sky Owners Association in 2001 with the intent of serving as a bridge to handing the facility over to the USPS.

“I’m still hoping it can happen,” he said.

In March, the USPS bumped the amount of money provided to the Big Sky Post Office to $547,000, in what was viewed at the time as the first step toward a long-term solution for the over-capacity post office.

Nope but I thought you might be interested.

**Harry** · 10-07-2022, 08:50 AM

Thanks, I’m glad you posted that for me.

**Climber Joe** · 10-07-2022, 12:50 PM

Yearly reminder to the Bozeman/Big Sky area mags: I have a pivot/Rossi jig, a dynafit Jig, and soon to have a marker Royal jig. I’ve got lots of drill bits, and I’ve mounted many skis in the day. If you want a mount done right and on the cheap/free, hit me up.

I’ve also got way too many skis, so if you need some of those ask me too.
