    Maverick Mountain Rebuilds After Fire | Missoula News

    Maverick Mountain ski resort took a brutal hit from the Sand Creek fire, with its only chairlift destroyed—meaning no skiing this season. Over 40,000 acres burned in the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest, leaving areas like Elkhorn Hot Springs still under evacuation. Thankfully, base buildings and equipment survived. But the crew’s not giving up—they’re launching a nonprofit to rebuild and get that lift back up, with a donation site launching soon. Stay tuned to their socials for updates.

    Montana Weather Wild Ride Then Calm | Missoula News

    Montana dodged a major weather storm today, with severe thunderstorms bringing 60 mph winds and quarter-sized hail to parts of the south-central and southeastern regions — but relief is on the way. The storms are expected to fade by tonight, leaving skies clear through Thursday, with no major wind threats or fire risks ahead. Air quality remained good across the state. Temperatures cooled into the 50s to mid-40s overnight, then rebounded into the 80s for the rest of the week — with some spots even hitting the low 90s by Thursday and Friday. Looking ahead, the next 8-14 days may bring slightly warmer temps and a small chance of rain late in August. A wild ride today, but summer’s settling back into its groove.

    Saving and Investing When You’re Broke | Missoula News

    Struggling to save or invest? For many families in Montana, everyday costs like rent, childcare, and car payments swallow up nearly $60K a year—leaving little room for the future.

    Montana Storms Fizzle Then Return | Missoula News

    Montana’s weather threw down a wild one yesterday with 60-mph winds and quarter-sized hail blasting central areas from Roundup to I-15 and between Helena and Great Falls—eastern Montana also got warned for severe storms later. Thankfully, the chaos is fizzling out by morning, leaving Tuesday dry… but don’t relax too soon: afternoon storms are back on the menu.
