N Bangtail is a short cross-country ski route in Montana, about 0.15 miles long, that rises from 6,103 feet to 6,127 feet. The climb is easy, with a total gain of 11 feet, and the nearest town is Springhill, about 7 miles away. The most comfortable months for a ski trip are typically May through September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 63°F in May to 82°F in July, and snow days drop to zero from June through August. That station sits roughly 1,200 feet lower than this route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Meadow Loop, the Warming Shelter Trail and Going Home are all within about 0.2 miles. Battle Ridge Cabin offers camping about 3.1 miles away.
