Black diamond Big Sky, MT
Marshall drops 544 vertical feet over 1,992 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 98th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Marshall gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 129th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,510 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.
