Green Big Sky, MT
High Tide drops 393 vertical feet over 3,357 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 2,750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 135th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 7°, High Tide gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 110th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,910 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.
