Good morning, Bozeman.

Central Valley Fire District and Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue held ice rescue training at Hyalite Reservoir on Monday, practicing methods for rescuing single and multiple victims—techniques they may need as Gallatin Valley grows and warm weather thins the ice.

As the second Cat-Griz matchup nears this weekend, hotels in Bozeman are quickly filling up and travelers are urged to book rooms now.

Some hotels are nearly booked, while restaurants advise diners to reserve a spot to avoid long wait times (Sapphire Motel is fully booked for Saturday night).

Bozeman snowmobile dealers report that the season is delayed by thin snow conditions, slowing sales and creating unsafe trails; Summit Motorsports, which sells snowmobiles & dirt bikes, urges riders to use proper safety gear.
