Sorry I missed out in ‘09. The plan was to stay there after coming from Waterton. Alas, the pass was still closed. So we stayed in St. Mary (fortunately not crowded) and then rode all the way to Sprague Creek via Looking Glass and Marias to have a chance to at least ride some of the west slope before heading back to Whitefish for our flight. What an epic day. The road on the west side opened to the pass the following morning.
