Avalanche control day

Kapow!

Okay, so this isn't actually a picture of Ryan throwing an explosive. But it sure could be. The mountains around Bozeman have finally been getting some good snow storms rolling through the last couple of days and this means Ryan gets up at 4:30am to head up to the mountain and do avalanche control. So scary sounding but he likes it so much he volunteered to work today so he could go throw explosives. Too much testosterone for me. Next think you know he'll drive up in a truck with a gun rack in the back. But in all reality, he is helping keep the ski area safe for skiers by triggering controlled avalanches. Yea Ski Patroller Ryan!
