Let us introduce our new board members, beginning with President Todd Durado, a seasoned FSA member who is enthusiastic about applying his expertise to benefit the club and we are grateful for his contribution.

No meeting this evening. The next meeting will be posted when scheduled.

Coming soon The Montana Snowmobile Racing Association will have their own website! Keep an eye out for updates!

🚨🚨

A juicy storm is driving dangerous avalanche conditions today. Great riding and safer conditions can be found in sheltered terrain and on lower-angled slopes.

A special shoutout to our volunteer field partners this season: Lydia Willoughby, Erich Peitzsch, Zack Gidley, and Mike Bussard. Thanks for your time, stoke, and mountain companionship.

Strong winds have created fresh slabs that could be triggered by a rider today. Evan a small slide has the potential to setp down into a deeper weak layer, producing a much larger avalanche. Steer around pockets of wind-drifted snow and thick twice about seep, shaded slopes above 6000', where those buried weak layers remain a concern.

Photo: Just one part of a very large avalanche failing on the JDL near Hash Mountain in the northern Swan. Thickest part of the crown is estimated at 6-8' deep.
