Blue Big Powderhorn, MI
Musket drops 258 vertical feet over 1,376 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 45 named runs at Big Powderhorn. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 11°, Musket gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Big Powderhorn. Its top sits at 1,630 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
