Equinoctial greetings tho it seems Solsticial. Bulk of MT has probably never seen March day this warm in 125K years or more 😔. Monthly records set all over, including Red Lodge and Billings. Never thought I'd be running in shorts up Hellroaring Rd. from 2220m to 2500m and back on this day. 18C at the start. Melting fast all round, free-air frzng level probably 4000m. Very dry too, RHs 7-15% last few days. Some cooling starting Sun., thank goodness. #climatecrisis #running #dogs #montana #gye

GYE is on nrn fringe of the extreme heat dome bringing all-time record MAR heat to Wrn US. Red Lodge tied all-time MAR high yest. 22C (72F). Previously 3/27 and 31/2015. Drove in thru WY-296 to US-212, to ski up that from 2213m to 2580m. Side detour near start ridge above Lily Lake. 14C at the start, 10C or so when we turned back. Dismal snowpack lower, but above 2400m looking good. Melting rapidly, everything. More deer out w the mild winter, had close call. #climate #skiing #dogs #wyoming #gye

WTF 13C this morn. our place 0630, felt like desert wind. Strong warm chinook pattern back. Got nice spring ski in Rock Crk. Cyn tho by carrying them in bag 2km from 2200m start. After that increasing snowpack decent glide, but windy. Had to turn back windy corner 2480m, gale force, Sundance/Otter not keen. Snowmachine tracks from Sun/Mon sure helped. 30-60cm base 2300m and above, but much will melt next 8-9 days. Free-air frzg lvls will rise to 3500m + 😔. #climate #skiing #dogs #montana #gye

Got home just in time, SN/BLSN 40-70kph N winds. -4C and falling, can barely see 200m. An actual blizzard, not unknown on the Beartooth Front. This will be our last ❄️ for at least 8-9 days if not longer. Sundance isn't all that enthused about being out in it at the moment 😜. The 12Z today run of the NOAA/NWS NAM 3km hi-res forecast model was 30 min. early forecasting start of this. Better than the alternative! We will have our first 21C + day next Thu. #climate #weather #dogs #montana #gye

Never a dull moment in collapsing climate mid-Continent 45N downstream from 3200-3900m high terrain. Strong chinook 18C 120kph wind gusts yest. evg., -5C N wind heavy fog this morn., into aftn. Low-level cold NE flow didn't make it yet into Lakefork Cyn S of town for our run, so 2C there, bit of sun. Lot of melting in there, almost no snowpack 2100m, scary. Going to be quite chaotic here next several days, more wind ❄️ 💦. Possibly quite warm next week. #climatecrisis #running #dogs #montana #gye

First time skiing W-fork Cyn all winter this morn. Barely enough 1950m start but 30cm base shaded area 4K out 2050m. Had to turn back there too sticky. 4C full sun, but at least not windy yet. Got Sundance/Otter after up hike on E Bench 1780-1900m and around. Just behind town nice views. 6C melting fast w SE wind. Most our low elevation ❄️ will melt today/tmrw, more again tho late Mon/Tue. Mite be able ski W-fork again later in the week, sure hope so. #climate #hiking #skiing #dogs #montana #gye
