Double black Big Sky, MT
Bolivia drops 361 vertical feet over 724 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 30°, Bolivia gets about 30% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,960 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.
