Dry Fly drops 150 vertical feet over 364 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces northwest.

How well Dry Fly holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 25°, Dry Fly gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,430 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.
