Blue Big Sky, MT
Lone Creek drops 242 vertical feet over 1,648 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 225th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 9°, Lone Creek gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 139th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,910 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
