Blue Big Sky, MT
Lizette drops 596 vertical feet over 2,607 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,030 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 251st steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Lizette gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,510 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
