Green Big Sky, MT
Bootlegger drops 91 vertical feet over 1,517 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 217th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Bootlegger gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 102nd sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,110 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
