Formed by a group of players who wanted to play "at home" rather than driving to Helena, Steve Kurschner and company left the Titans to start the Snow Devils and were included in the RMFL lineup for the Montana Division.

 

That first season was tough as the 'Devils went 0-8.  Travel, which it had been hoped would have been limited to local Montana teams, didn't materialize as crossover games with Wyoming and Utah made their way on to the schedule.

 

2011 started off better as the Snow Devils broke into the win column on their tenth outing as a franchise, winning week 2 against the Helena Bearcats.  Weeks 7 & 8 produced the first back-to-back wins for the franchise upping their mark to 3-5 on the season and a spot in the playoffs.  Facing Great Falls for the second time of the season, the result was the same with a quick exit from the RMFL playoffs.

 

2012 was a continued struggle, however a bright spot was the rivalry with Helena heated up as Gallatin Valley maintained a 3-game winning streak over the Bearcats dating back to 2011.

 

With the Bearcats dropping out for the 2013 season, Gallatin Valley had to find a new team to rival with, and it turned out to be the Glacier Knights.  In a 2-6 campaign, both victories were over the Knights including a 46-point offensive explosion that rivaled the total season output of the previous two season scoring totals.

 

Suffering a close defeat at the hands of the Davis Vipers to open the 2014 season, Gallatin Valley reeled off seven consecutive victories including blow out wins over Mini Cassia and Gem State, outscoring both by a combined 126-0.  Sandwiched between those two wins was a 20-19 victory over the Davis Vipers avenging that earlier loss.  A near upset by Mini Cassia and and overtime win over Idaho Falls closed out the regular season only to see the Vipers take the rubber match 14-6 in the RMFL Playoffs.

 

The amazing run by the Snow Devils could not be repeated as 2015 ended with a 3-7 record, with the first two losses coming by a combined 4 points.

 

Following the 2015 season the Snow Devils franchise shut down after six years and two playoff appearances.
