Blue Big Sky, MT
Wapiti drops 107 vertical feet over 643 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 209th steepest of 290 named runs at Big Sky. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Wapiti gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Big Sky does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th shadiest named run at Big Sky. Its top sits at 7,930 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
