This would mean ski areas opening at 9:30 or 10:00 instead of 8:30 or 9:00. Last chair would be 5:00ish. The ski industry tends to be opposed.

A Strawberry Moon is the first full moon of summer.

It signals the start of summer, when strawberries ripen in the US.

The name comes from the Algonquin tribes.

And it's tonight.

Ok hear me out.

January 2, 1949. “Blizzard of ‘49” hits Great Plains. 72 hours. 76 dead, 100,000 cattle frozen. Trains buried. Chadron, NE rule: “No travel. Roads gone.” 16-year-old ranch kid Don “Sled” Miller tied 6 sleds to 4 horses. Rope, no runners. Loaded 23 kids from 7 ranches cut off 40 miles out. No heat, no food. Rode 22 hours in -35°F. Fed kids snow + jerky. One horse died. All 23 kids lived. Army saw it, copied “Operation Haylift” next day—dropped hay from C-47s. Saved 2 million cattle. Don got Bronze Star. Became sheriff. Died 2016. His sled rope is at Museum of the Fur Trade. He said: “Snow stopped trains. It didn’t stop me.”

An aerial view shows the flood gates open on the Séliš Ksanka Ql̓ispé Dam (SKQ Dam), formerly known as Kerr Dam, on Flathead Lake, Montana. The structure is the first Native American tribally owned dam in the United States and generates up to 194 megawatts of electricity.

“We hauled our large periogue on an island in the mouth of Maria’s river, and covered it over with brush. We then began to examine and assort our effects to see what would be least wanted and most proper to leave” -Patrick Gass, June 10, 1805

Sad to think there may only be 2 or 3 snowfalls left in Wyoming before summer

Pushing limits on a massive cliff drop shows the real side of professional skiing.

This Ski Resort Has the Most Terrain Per Skier on Earth—and Still No Crowds

B.C.’s Panorama is one of the most overlooked—and uncrowded—ski areas on the Powder Highway. https://t.co/QeZ1d87djD

First thunderstorm of the year in Bozeman, MT. Very wet cell. Some dime sized hail @NWSGreatFalls #mtwx

A stunning, rare white raven has been spotted on Vancouver Island, Canada.

[Yellowstone National Park @YellowstoneNPS]

The Beartooth Highway (US-212) from Red Lodge to Cooke City, Montana, is now open for the season!

Once open, temporary travel restrictions or closures can occur at any time without notice. Prepare for winter driving conditions, have flexible travel plans, and watch for quickly changing weather conditions.

Check for road status and updates on the Montana and Wyoming departments of transportation websites.

This is my all-time favorite picture posted on Twitter. As the sun nestles perfectly at the end of this shadowed pier's endless corridor, it whispers a promise of light piercing through life's darkest tunnels, turning the vast ocean into hope and solitude. It calms me.

A gray wolf was spotted in Sequoia National Park in California, marking the animal’s presence in the region after more than a century.

From California corn laps to Vermont glacier turns, these are the last ski resorts still spinning lifts for Memorial Day weekend. https://t.co/mhkYI2U2ru
