Tenderfoot drops 275 vertical feet over 2,640 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 62 named runs at Discovery. It faces southwest.

How well Tenderfoot holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 6°, Tenderfoot gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 7,130 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.
