Since Thursday's bulletin the northern Gallatin and Big Sky area picked up 3-5" of dense snow on Friday and .3” of rain last night while cold temperatures in the south allowed it to snow 1-3”. In general, snow stability is good. Looking ahead to Tuesday and Wednesday’s storm, stability concerns will be confined to new and windblown snow throughout our advisory area.
