Ross Intl is in Sweetgrass, Montana. Field elevation is 3,553 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 2,900 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field handling and a longer ground roll than a paved strip. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. The runway can be muddy when wet. The east end has gopher holes and ruts. No snow removal is provided. Taxiway use is limited too. Taxiway landing or takeoff is not authorized. There is also a road parallel to the runway on the U.S. side. Keep a close eye outside on final and in the pattern.
Runway 25 has a fence near the approach path. Runway 07 has its threshold marked by double cones. The field has no on-field FBOs listed. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. If you are planning a first visit, verify current field conditions before departure. The combination of turf, ruts, obstructions and no snow removal makes this a strip where a careful preflight and a good walk-around matter.
