Blue Great Divide, MT
1806 drops 176 vertical feet over 754 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 83rd steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, 1806 gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,010 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.
