Text Message Terms

Montana Snow Report Alerts · Montana Property Reports, LLC · Effective September 6, 2026

The program

Montana Snow Report Alerts sends text messages you set up yourself about Montana snow, mountain passes, snow basins and avalanche warnings: for example, a pass's winter travel impact reaching a level you chose, new snow at a station you follow, or a morning brief. Messages are sent only to numbers whose owners opted in on montanasnowreport.com, from (406) 804-7669.

Opting in

Text alerts are turned on by the phone's owner, on the alerts page at montanasnowreport.com/account, after signing in with the email a season pass was bought with (sign-in is by emailed link). You type your mobile number and tick a box that reads:

"Text me Montana Snow Report alerts at this number. Message frequency varies with the weather and the alerts I choose, up to six a day. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help."

The Phone form on the alerts page (montanasnowreport.com/account, after sign-in). The box is unticked until the phone's owner ticks it.

Phone

The box is never ticked for you. It is separate from the terms of sale you accept when buying, and a phone number given to Stripe at checkout does not by itself turn texts on. When you tick it we send one confirmation text ("Montana Snow Report: texts are on for this number. Alerts you set to Text will arrive here, up to 6 a day. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel."), and the alerts you then set to Text or Text and email go to that number. Remove the number on the same page, turn off all alerts there, or reply STOP at any time; replying START after a STOP turns texts back on for a number that opted in here.

Frequency

Message frequency varies with the weather and with the alerts you choose. Most subscribers receive between zero and six messages a day in winter; a daily cap of six applies, and no messages are sent between 10 pm and 5 am Mountain time except for severe conditions and avalanche warnings.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile plan. Montana Snow Report charges for season passes, not per message.

Stopping and help

Reply STOP to any message to cancel; you will receive one confirmation and nothing further. Reply HELP for help, or email matt@paradisevalleymedia.com. You can also change or remove any alert on your alerts page.

Carriers

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on networks we do not control and is not guaranteed; do not rely on a text message for a safety decision. Rely on the National Weather Service, the issuing avalanche center and Montana 511.

Privacy
