Blue Discovery, MT
Boiler Maker drops 795 vertical feet over 2,011 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 62 named runs at Discovery. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Boiler Maker gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,660 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.
