Snowmobiler reported missing near Big Sky

From the Galletin Park National Forset website "Triggering a large avalanche is likely today, particularly on windloaded slopes near ridgelines. While snowfall tapered off yesterday near Bozeman and Big Sky, strong west winds continued with gusts up to 40 mph. With around a foot of recent snow (1-1.5” of snow water equivalent) available for transport, dense drifts of wind deposited snow continued to build and get deeper. This continued loading means the snowpack hasn’t had a chance to catch it’s breath yet. Avoid steep slopes and give it time to adjust. Slides will break in the new snow, but could also break on weak layers deeper in the snowpack if you get unlucky. The avalanche danger is rated CONSIDERABLE today."

No problem. Your reply is still there. If you click on the yellow boxed link of Jersey Girl in your post, you can find your post at the bottom of it. Apparently, you may have typed it in front of the "quote" word ending the post by Jersey Girl.

And more good news, I see it is now posted by Darling that Christopher has been found safely.
