by Wayne Mumford March 27, 2009

Here’s the latest from Montana NRCS for the current state of Montana’s snow pack. Also included is Montana river flow forecast for April-July 2009.

Montana HB 228 will have everyone packing heat?

by Wayne Mumford March 19, 2009

Is it the wild, wild west all over again? Montana HB 228 will allow everyone to carry weapons for self defense and bypass the current permit process for carrying concealed weapons.

by Wayne Mumford February 14, 2009

Things were starting out pretty good but we really haven’t had a lot of precipitation since the first of the year. While the Trout Underground is mourning over going another round with the snow blower from hell we are watching our snow condense into glacial ice.
No need to start worrying just yet. Even though my [...]

by Wayne Mumford January 4, 2009

Warren Miller, ski film’s grand poo-bah and member of the financially slippery slope elite at Montana’s Yellowstone Club theorizes that “the definition that fits rich better is ‘Economic Stratification’”.
Betty Crocker could build a better argument with a wedding cake but Warren’s article actually becomes the backdrop to some very interesting comments that follow the story. [...]
