The Snow Gods provided the moisture Friday night at the 5th Annual Burning Dog Pray For Snow Party, but the Montana weather wasn't quite cold enough to turn the rain into snow.  Although after some cold beer, excellent quaffing comp, a great film by Powderwhore Productions, and an excellent sacrificial burning of the dog, I have a strong feeling our second cycle of La Nina was kicked off right!

Props to the true die hard ski community that braved the elements at the festival Friday night to show their support to the West Central Montana Avalanche Center! Great atmosphere even in less then perfect conditions. I expected a bigger turnout though Missoula! You do know where you stored your winter gear right?

Bonus points for catching the beer by the handle and the arial foam fountain to the face!
