Thanks Dan!

The next week of NWS forecasts have 40 somewhere in every day’s forecast. Some could go into the upper 40s like the next two days. The GFS has been relentless over the last 3-4 days continuing to push storms anywhere but here for it’s entire 16 day duration.
The fat lady sings clip below is funny stuff. It was exactly what I was looking for. Too bad they wouldn’t let me embed it. Without further adieu, here it is.. the fat lady.
MixerKing is right, the trails might be done, but the world does not come to an end in these parts between seasons. As I have said many times over my decade here, this is a great time to escape. The businesses really appreciate your visit, and since they aren’t busy, your favorite places are running specials to compete for the people that are around. They also have time to hang out and chat, get to know you, and make friends. Busy weekends are great, but a lot of times you guys are on a mission to do X00 miles, and I have to keep running too. At the end of the day I end up wishing that I could have visited longer with some of you. Here we are.

Greetings and welcome!
Athelstane Weather had 47.3 & sunny yesterday, I saw the car go as high as 53. There is no hope of a big storm next week anymore, at least not according to the last 6 or 7 GFS runs.
Per Dan G’s request.. here it is.. the fat lady.

I have been to Togowtee multiple times and would highly recommend it. They have GREAT rentals and their guide staff is OUTSTANDING! They have great rooms in the lodge or the cabins. If you go once, you’ll go again and again…you were warned

Sledding in Yellowstone NP must be “permitted” by the National Park Service. Only 4-strokes allowed and must be guided with speed limits (I think 45mph). There are resorts w/ rentals and will set everything up. Quick google search.
Or
To go on your own (or hire a guide/sled if you want) you can check out;
Togwoteelodge.com
Brookslake.com
Both located outside the National Park.
I’ve never been there but was interested a couple years ago and did alittle research just as you are now.
Hope this helps?

Just looking for some peoples suggestions on snowmobiling in Yellowstone or Montana. Looking for names of rental places you used and places you rode to and what you would or wouldn’t do again. This Silvercliff site and blog is the best, keep it up.
