Blue Blacktail, MT
Snowslip drops 794 vertical feet over 2,532 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,050 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 20 named runs at Blacktail. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Snowslip gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blacktail does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Blacktail. Its top sits at 6,610 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.
