Blue Great Divide, MT
Cow Puncher drops 385 vertical feet over 3,211 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 114th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Cow Puncher gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,220 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.
