Brackett Creek, Ross Pass, Truman Gulch, Frazier/Sacajawea, Hyalite Creek, Emerald Lake, Mt Blackmore, Beehive Basin, etc.

I'm looking for more people to tour with this year since everyone I usually ski with left, I could probably show you around a bit.

I'm definitely looking to do some bozeman backcountry this winter. I'm coming from the flathead for my freshman year, so I'm all for getting acquainted with the terrain here. Got trackers/skins/beacon and shit.

That was March a couple seasons ago, there was 130cm at the base of the peak then. We won't be seeing that much snow for quite a while, but Blackmore's a good one earlier in the season.

went up to bridger yesterday and there was probably the same amount of snow down in bozeman. apparently one of the fingers slid pretty good. i was expecting more snow but it was good enough coverage in the grass...definitely got scrapes on the road areas though

Does anyone want to head up toward Blackmore next weekend? I'll finally have my skis mounted by then, I want to get out and skin around a bit.

Yo homie I'm down. I was up in Hyalite today and the snow is still pretty soft. I doubt we should go to the top of Blackmore (due to stability) but we can definitely try to get up in that area.

PM fool.

Does anyone want to get out in the next couple days? I'm done with school and Bridger is not worth going to for the foreseeable future...
