Boulder Airport (3U9) sits in Boulder, Montana. Field elevation is 4,968 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,675 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. It is a non-towered airport, so use CTAF 122.9 for local traffic calls.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway markings use white cones for the thresholds and edges. The runway has a 1 percent to 3 percent uphill gradient from the 29 end toward the 11 end. There is also a 2-foot drainage ditch and a 1-foot berm on the west side of the runway for the full length. They sit about 43 feet from the centerline.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. There is no snow removal. For clearance delivery, contact Helena Approach at 406-449-5756 or 406-449-5761. When approach is closed, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. There is no phone on the airport, so plan your calls before you roll. This is a high-elevation turf strip with no tower and no published instrument approach support, so a first-time pilot should plan for density altitude, runway condition and the surrounding terrain before arrival.
