SnowBrains headed up that way over the weekend to ski Beartooth Basin and was lucky enough to be one of a handful to be allowed through the closed gate and escorted to the ski area. Of course, with fresh snow and nobody else able to get there, it was freakinโ€™ awesome! Check out our reportโ€ฆ

Pretty mental that weโ€™re having road closures in Montana/Wyoming in late-June for 5-days straight!ย Is that a recordโ€ฆ?

Beartooth Basin was pretty special this weekend.

Heavy snow hit the west over the weekend, with Steamboat, CO getting almost 2-feet of fresh summer powder. Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park, CO also closed briefly over the weekendย due to snowy conditions.
