I’m trying to find ice conditions for Montana, specifically the Hyalite area.  Is there a forum somewhere that has conditions that are current?

Thanks in advance

I think this Facebook group (Southwest Montana Ice Conditions) may be what you are looking for, though it is unfortunately on Facebook.

Thanks.
I’m hoping to get an update on current conditions

There's also an instagram page with intermittent posts. In general Hyalite right now, anticipate climbable but thinner than normal (for late December) conditions on most routes. There's still a lot of trees down across access trails after the 12/18-19 wind storm so not a whole ton of traffic is getting out past the usual haunts as of yet. But most of the classic, regularly formed routes are getting climbed in some way shape or form. It's always in for someone...

I saw the post on Facebook about all the down trees from an earlier storm .  
I come up there a couple times a year and would be open to coming up and helping cut and remove downed trees- who would I contact to help with that?
