Double black Great Divide, MT
Dark Forest drops 67 vertical feet over 727 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Dark Forest gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,790 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.
