Black diamond Bridger Bowl, MT
Southbound drops 589 vertical feet over 1,746 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 46 named runs at Bridger Bowl. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 20°, Southbound gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,650 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
