Glacier National Park Plow crews are now at Oberlin Bend, after spending a couple of days clearing snow this week on lower sections of the highway so they could get back to heavy equipment that was trapped by avalanches at Rim Rocks.
Oberlin Bend is about a half mile below Logan Pass.
The week before saw heavy snow, then very warm weather in Glacier. Temperatures then tumbled back down Friday as a cold front swept through the region.
The east side crew is between No Stump and the East Tunnel.
The east side saw bad weather on Friday, which dropped the public closure down to Rising Sun because of wintry conditions in higher terrain.
More secondary roads have opened in the park. The Two Medicine Road is now open for the season, as is the Cut Bank Road, though the campground is closed at Cut Bank.
