Blue Big Sky, MT
Elk Park Ridge drops 1,451 vertical feet over 5,136 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 4,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 139th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Elk Park Ridge gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 145th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,420 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
