Black diamond Discovery, MT
Silver Bow drops 873 vertical feet over 3,330 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,070 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 62 named runs at Discovery. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 15°, Silver Bow gets about 140% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,860 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.
