November Skiing Crazy Mountains, MT


Early November brought the ski flu to Southwestern Montana with a couple of storms moving in and leaving behind 2-3 feet of snow in the mountains surrounding Bozeman. We loaded the sled into our little Brown Nissan Pickup and headed over to the Crazy Mountains for a day of exploring and early season Pow skiing. Our pow skiing plan was quickly foiled by not being able to find the correct road/trail-head to rally the snowmobile and us back into the Mountains. We didn't let this discourage our goal of skiing. We skinned over some private property and up a ridge to what appeared to be a sweet snow field from below turning out to be thin covered scree fields through a maze of trees back down to the bottom of the drainage. None the less an adventure and an enjoying day in the freedom of the rural Montana.
