Blue Big Sky, MT
Lobo drops 1,104 vertical feet over 5,057 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 2,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 172nd steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Lobo gets about 99% 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 111th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,960 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.
