1. MarchFourth, a 15-member band known for their energetic live performances, will be performing at The Elm in Bozeman on Wednesday night. The band combines elements of funk, jazz, and marching band music to create a unique sound that is sure to get the audience dancing. The performance is part of a tour promoting their new album, "Magic Number." (Mooseradio.com)
2. High avalanche danger is being reported in parts of the Gallatin National Forest about two hours away from Bozeman due to heavy snowfall and high winds. The Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center issued a warning to backcountry travelers and skiers to stay away from steep slopes and avoid traveling on or beneath avalanche terrain. People are advised to check the local avalanche advisory before going into the backcountry and carry proper equipment such as an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel. (Fairfield Sun Times)
3. A skier was rescued by a search and rescue team in the Bear Basin area about an hour away from Bozeman after the skier was stranded due to a medical emergency. The skier had reportedly suffered a seizure and was unable to continue skiing. The search and rescue team utilized a helicopter to transport the skier to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
