Curt groomed our trail tonight and Flathead was groomed today. Total new snow over the past 48hrs is 3 feet. It is snowing enough to hamper visibility on the hwy tonight.
Our hopes that the original estimate of 5 sledders lost in the avalanche at Harvey Creek were dashed today. Total of 11 sledders in the slides with 8 buried and only three found walking out. 7 bodies have been recovered with search and rescue suspended for the evening and resuming tomorrow. RCMP are present at staging areas advising riders to not go into dangerous areas but the trails and meadows are open. Still avoid rolling slopes as even below treeline is "high" risk for the forecast Wed. We are getting more snow than expected currently. Check your equipment, discuss your route and "know before you go".
