2023 GTTS Contest

Transportation can be a challenge in Glacier. If you have ideas, offer ride shares, or used a commercial service that you were happy with, let everyone know. Also, ask questions about road information, or share road information you may have.

The pending contest prize depends on someone contacting Kathy and talking her into donating a keg. Of course a 6 pack or growler would probably be preferred.

How was the snowfall this year compared to what they had in CO and CA and the average for GNP?

I'll say 07/01/23 at 8:00AM MT

Also, maybe we should have a secondary contest, predict how many people will post their guesses in the 2023 Sun Road Contest.
My entry for that is 11.

per a Facebook post... this year was a very low snowfall year (current at <50% average snowpack for this time of year.)

I was kind of expecting a July 1 opening, but with the (apparent) low snow and progress so far, I don't know if they will be able to hold off that long.
