Black diamond Discovery, MT
Limelight drops 614 vertical feet over 1,647 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 62 named runs at Discovery. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Limelight gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 8,070 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.
