Blue Great Divide, MT
Corkscrew drops 340 vertical feet over 1,063 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Corkscrew gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,700 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.
