Blue Bridger Bowl, MT
Thunder Road drops 674 vertical feet over 2,487 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 2,220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 46 named runs at Bridger Bowl. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Thunder Road gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bridger Bowl does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Bridger Bowl. Its top sits at 7,550 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.
