Montana ice

[counterfeitfake]

Can anyone tell me what current ice conditions are in the Hyalite/Bozeman area? Is everything covered in snow? I've never been there.

 

Montanaice.com seems almost devoid of information. If anyone knows another relevant site I'd love to be pointed in the right direction.

if/when you find out anything, will you please post it here.

There's never a ton of information to be had on montanaice.com. Ice is in, and the road is plowed. That seems to be the important part.

Last I heard the ice was getting brittle. It has been cold as shit there. It has been warming up though. I wouldn't worry about climbs getting buried by snow. It's not like the cascade snow that sticks to everything. For up to date info, I'd call barrel mountaineering at 406-582-1335. They keep a conditions log at the shop.

There is no need to post when:

The Ice is Fat: climbed G1, G2, hangover, on Tuesday this week after a final exam. The cold weather had shrunk the climbs and forced the water over the top. The climbs had grown a couple feet from when I had seen them earlier. Pretty much all of the climbs are in and since the road is plowed you can drive your rental right up.

 

Once the ice is fat it doesn't go away...its not the gorge. (at least until April 'ish)

 

I would assume that Cody, WY is rocking.

 

California Ice would be in as would the rest of the routes in the East Rosebud which are right off the road.
