Black diamond Great Divide, MT
Cougar drops 286 vertical feet over 1,080 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Cougar gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,070 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
