Blue Bridger Bowl, MT
Elk Run drops 188 vertical feet over 625 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 46 named runs at Bridger Bowl. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Elk Run gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 6,810 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.
