Also about 70 bull elk in the Gallatin District.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There was about 6-10 inches of new snow in the park, with 12-20 at Big Sky, all of which is much needed.  the snowpack is still very low, especially south of Big Sky.  We had traveled Targhee Pass a couple of weeks ago, and there was 6 inches on the west side.  Of, course a couple of good snowstorms can turn it around, but as of now it is looking to be a very low snow year.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I haven't been in too much so that the guides can get as much work as possible, in these slow times.  With the cut in snowmobiles and the economy, winter use in the park is rapidly drying up, and almost seems like it is dying a slow death.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jim Holstein</DIV> <DIV>Yellowstone Tour Guides</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
