Avalanche Note

For the last few years several of us at Powderfin have been venturing into the Montana backcountry for our winter recreation. In the Bozeman/Big Sky Montana area, we’re lucky enough to have an avalanche center that has, no doubt, prevented countless avalanche related injuries and fatalities through their advisories and snow pack discussions. If you live here, or you plan to visit, please check out http://www.mtavalanche.com/ (Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center (GNFAC)) for the latest information. This includes anyone going into the backcountry with any mode of transportation.If you’re at all interested in learning more about the mechanics of an avalanche or how to read the snow pack, their site is a great resource, and they also offer classes in the area.
Cheers
