I live in south eastern Ontario and have both moles and voles. The
voles eat lots of plant material and the moles tunnel everywhere.
The biggest problem with the moles is that they push the newly
planted daylilies and iris up out of the ground when they are
tunnelling.
I know that western Montana is colder than southern Ontario but I can
say most definitely that moles and voles thrive in cold weather
climates. Our last frost free date is traditionally the 24th of May
and frost can be any time in mid September.
