Blue Bridger Bowl, MT
Bitterroot drops 590 vertical feet over 2,426 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 46 named runs at Bridger Bowl. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Bitterroot gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,400 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.
