The route is a flat loop with a high point of 4,859 feet and a low of 4,822 feet, so the climb is minimal, with a total gain of 13 feet and a loss of 57 feet over the course. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.35 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bozeman show January highs around 34°F with lows near 15°F and about nine snow days, while June through August run in the low to mid 70s with no snow days.
