Description

Blaze Mountain is a prominent mountain in the Spanish Peaks that has a 2,000' gully on its smooth NW face that holds snow late into the year called 'The Blaze'. It's a classic summer ski destination for Bozemanites, and is a proper adventure to ski in a day. The round trip is a tad over 15 miles, with 6 miles of pristine singletrack in the Lee Metcalf wilderness just to reach the bottom of the snow gully.
