⚠️ Avalanche Danger is VERY HIGH – Please Read ⚠️

We want to remind everyone that avalanche danger is currently very high in our area.

There was a report of a skier triggering a slide at Showers Lake on Sunday (2/22). Thankfully, he is okay. There has also been a report of another small avalanche crossing the groomed trail heading out of Showers Lake toward Red Lion.

These are serious reminders that conditions are unstable right now.

Please:
• Be aware of current conditions before heading out
• Avoid steep or suspect terrain
• Carry proper avalanche safety equipment (shovel, beacon, probe, avalanche pack)
• Know how to properly use your gear
• Get the proper avalanche training

If you do not have the proper equipment or training, you really should reconsider riding in backcountry areas during these conditions.

Your safety — and the safety of others — depends on it. Ride smart and look out for one another.

🎄 Merry Christmas from the Anaconda Pintler Search and Rescue team! 🎄

​As the snow falls and holiday lights twinkle, we want to extend our warmest wishes to our incredible community. This time of year reminds us of the importance of connection, safety, and looking out for one another – especially in our beautiful, vast Montana wilderness.
​While we hope your holidays are filled with joy, peace, and safe adventures, please remember that our dedicated volunteers are always on call, ready to assist 24/7, even on Christmas Day.

​If you're heading out to enjoy the winter wonderland, please remember these tips:
​Tell someone your plans – where you're going and when you expect to return.
​Dress in layers and be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions.
​Carry essential survival gear – a map, compass/GPS, extra food, water, first-aid, and emergency shelter.
​Know your limits and don't take unnecessary risks.

​From all of us at Anaconda Pintler Search and Rescue, thank you for your continued support. It’s an honor to serve you and keep our outdoor community safe.

​Have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
