Quick report
I took a couple short snowmobile rides in the Flathead Range looking for recent avalanches from this weekends storm.
- Observed one D2 or D3 size avalanche on Mt Grant. Poor visibility made it difficult to get an accurate idea of size and avalanche type.
- I had many views of mid-elevation and upper elevation start zones and observed no avalanche activity with the exception of the pile of debris previously mentioned.

Not necessarily "High Pressure." Light snowfall after noon. Cloud celing dropped to about 6000 feet by 1 pm. Calm winds at 5000 feet.
Avalanche
- Observed one large (D2 or D3) avalanche on Mt. Grant. The starting zone was obscured by clouds, so I can’t confirm avalanche type. This may be the debris pile from a previously reported glide avalanches. The debris ran to valley floor. - The start zones of this path are above 7000 feet and generally face east and northeast. - Observed no recent avalanches in Dickey Creek.
