Black diamond Bridger Bowl, MT
Emigrant drops 301 vertical feet over 1,030 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 46 named runs at Bridger Bowl. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Emigrant gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,180 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.
