Wolves on a Divided Landscape
Wolves on a Divided Landscape – Flathead Beacon
Wolves are complex critters that for centuries have inspired myths and legends while generating fierce controversies, an animal whose presence on the landscape is at once magical and maddening, captivating wildlife lovers while commanding condemnation from hunters who say the population of predators is decimating the bounty of big game in Montana.
Avalanche Level Considerable
Keep it tight today. New snow has created dangerous and complex avalanche conditions. Today, it will be easy to trigger avalanches that break 1 to 2 feet deep at all elevations, and natural avalanches are a serious threat. The most dangerous conditions exist at mid-elevations, where weak layers have consistently produced avalanches all week. Make conservative choices near or below any slope steeper than about 30 degrees, even small slopes above creeks and gullies. Get more information at https://flatheadavalanche.org/whitefish/advisory
