how many people have ashes where they live? here in great falls they have been settling on everything, they get thick on cars overnight. Great Falls isnt even to close to any fires so I figured that other towns might have alot more.

Yep, I think you might have been getting ashes from a fire right by Polson, it looked like the smoke was headed towards Great fallls.  It sucked cause I was skating last night and kept getting ashes in my eyes, it hurt bad

There is a fire on the east side of the Bob, and that is probably what you are getting Kip. I think it is called the Fool Creek fire?

Do you think if there was a ridiculous amount of ash you could ski it? I bet it would be ridiculously fluffy, if you could somehow get a base it would be so nice.


Ya, not gonna happen...

ha ha, maybe if you had a snow base and a ridiculous fire or volcanoe blew in a couple inches of ash but if there was that much ash i dont think we would be worrying about skiing
