A case for the Snowpocalypse
Snowfall raises season snowpack to 90 percent
Early this January, snowpack in Montana was far below average. With only 45 percent of the season's expected snowfall on the ground, it meant that to reach the amount of snow needed for the rest of 2012, more than half of the snowfall had to fall in the coming three months.

Letter: Let's talk about bringing PIRG back
There is no shortage of problems, or opportunities, to address in our society. We believe that it is extremely important that our campus community, particularly students, engage these issues and possess the skills and tools to have a lasting impact. Last semester, several of us found ourselves discussing how to promote and create these skills and tools and whether there was an existing student-run institution through which this work could happen.

Big Ups and Backhands: Jan. 23-27
Big Ups to the Griz football team. Even though you couldn't get the national title, you still made national headlines. Go Griz! Backhands to South Carolina for backing Newt Gingrich in its primary. If it took him three marriages to "find his morality," think how long it will take him to find his appropriate BMI! Big Ups to Obama's State of the Union Address.

Open Letters: Dear Reader
I would have loved to address this letter to "readers," but I've been around this campus long enough to know better. Unless they make this column the clue for No. 24 down in today's crossword, I'll be lucky to hook one of you for 400 more words. So if you've made it this far, congratulations! You're an army of one.

Get Your Geek On: A fiery introduction
Welcome to 2012, Earthlings. As we move into this year of the Mayan apocalypse, I can't help but wonder if the world will really end on Dec. 21. As we all know, the stars don't lie and neither do I. That's why I'm writing another column in the last spring semester before the end of the world.

Surviving the backcountry
When the unexpected happens, be prepared
In the Montana backcountry, things rarely go according to plan. Weather can turn, gear can malfunction and injuries happen. Earlier this month, a Kila, Mont., couple got stranded in Glacier National Park after a skiing day trip went downhill. Despite their extensive preparation, they found it out the hard way.

My winter bounty
Last Saturday I took home a few organic beets, a pumpkin on its last legs and some raw chocolate. Roasting the beets while stuffing the pumpkin with polenta and peppers gave me a hearty, mostly local dinner. And the chocolate picks me up like coffee without any bitterness.

The town grows quiet every December. The streets are clear of the usual riff-raff of the collegiate types, and the parties move out of homes and into offices. It's the holiday season in Missoula, and while our dear college town may lose some population, it sure doesn't lose momentum for those few precious weeks at the end and beginning of every year.

Cycling across the snow to beat winter
Missoulians refuse to put away their two-wheeled transportation depsite snow, ice
When the weather gets rough, Missoula's cyclists get tougher. Last week's onslaught of winter weather did little to phase the city's die-hard bikers from wheeling over snowy streets. Ian Truscott, who spent a portion of Monday afternoon fixing up his bike at Free Cycles, said it just makes sense to ride a bike in Missoula, no matter the season or the weather.
