BEEHIVE PEAK
BEEHIVE PEAK
The Madison range sits in south-western Montana, right between Yellowstone and Bozeman. The range is most known for the Spanish Peaks which are beautiful Craggy mountains in the northwestern part of the mountains.

Home to Big Sky and Moonlight Basin, this range offers quite a bit for backcountry skiers.

Snowpack
It tends to be a lot more unstable then its Teton neighbors to the south.

Mountains

BEEHIVE PEAK (1) Elevation: 10,742 ft

The second highest point of the Spanish Peaks is also a prominent and aesthetic peak as well. Beehive Peak rises over 3000 feet from Jack Creek. The peak itself offers a couple couloirs but its long ridgelines offers the most skiing.

PEAK 10115 (1) Elevation: 10,040 ft

Not sure why this mountain is unnamed on maps as it is a worthy estination in Beehive Basin. This craggy peak offers many couloirs and a nice open bowl.

I'd never skied Big Sky before and scored a free ticket so it was a no brainer. Fun for a day but a good reminder that inbounds skiing gets boring and beats on your knees... also a good reminder that...[view]
