Black diamond Big Sky, MT
Hollywood drops 217 vertical feet over 671 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 550 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 179th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 19°, Hollywood gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 118th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,760 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.
