jeaaa. i heard around 2 in the bridgers, and about a foot and a half by Big Sky according to the avalanche dudes.
 
Upper Beehive, went again yesterday but there was so much snow it was more hassle than fun. There was a solid 24"+ at that first meadow thats even before you enter public land. I'm thinking about hitting the Bridgers tomorrow morning, figure there will at least be a trail blazed there.

Here's one from Monday up at Beehive.
 
If you do it should be sweet, snotel data on the east side at brackett read 23" of new from 10/28 to 10/29. If the east got nuked than the west should be whiteroom.

Nice Pic! Bastard
 
You sure about that? I'm looking at the Brackett Creek snotel data right now and it's saying there is 10" total. The station at the top of the Bridger lift was saying 23" of new, so maybe that's what you meant? Also, the east side of the range gets significantly more snow than the west side, almost without exception.
That being said, I saw some pictures on TGR from Bridger yesterday that weren't looking too shabby.
 
Yeah, my bad I have them all running as a ticker on my screen. And yes I meant that the west side gets the shaft generally.

You seem like the TGR type.
 
This winter is starting out great, Showdown's total snowfall is already 95 inches, their seasonal average is usual 20 ft or 240 inches, thats more than a third of their annual snowfall and its only October. Thats almost 8 feet of snow, they have a 4' base now and have been track packing the lower angle stuff and i hear its skiing great, Im going tomorrow to find out for my self. Stoked!! Oh and I heard that Great Divide might be opening Good Luck lift next weekend for Wild Wood.
 
The snow was deep, and wet today, the temperature in Neihart was around 55 degrees and 65 in Great Falls. Regardless we got an early enough start that the skiing was good, phenomenal for October.

The snow was deep, this snow bank usually doesn't get that big until January/February.

ww was super sick, i dont know how i didnt make it to finals with a 270 on 450 off the long down box though
 
yea i came on here to state this... anyone have any details because i have looked and i just heard stuff via word of mouth.
 
just woke up and in bozeman city limits there is at least 6in defiantly more. i love waking up to a shit ton of snow!
 
Where are you? There's got to be 12-14" at my place near campus. I will be skiing this weekend, most likely.
 
Holy crap, I just woke up and hadn't looked outside yet, but damn, there is a lot of snow outside. Definitely between 12 and 14.
 
Agreed...I woke up to take a shower and didn't look and when I came back I was like "what the fuck where did this foot of snow come from" Very pleasant surprise.
 
Likewise... I was just going to say this thread makes me so damn anxious.... I'm trying to lock down a house in Missoula then I'll see you kids in Januaaaarrryyyyyy worrrdddd.
 
sure wouldnt bother me one bit if it just keeps doing this until sunday or so lol just a couple feet would be awesome!
 
not sure how many times ill be able to say this... but i was actually eager to go outside and shovel the 16inches or so from my sidewalk... i don't know much about heaven, but this sure looks close. so happy it's dumping still, keep it up!
