Black diamond Big Sky, MT
Timberwolf drops 273 vertical feet over 781 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 570 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 east.
Facing east at an average 21°, Timberwolf gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 108th sunniest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 8,190 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.
