Blue Big Sky, MT
Lobo Meadows drops 681 vertical feet over 3,448 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 197th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Lobo Meadows gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 105th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 9,190 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.
