Black diamond Great Divide, MT
Forgotten Forest drops 250 vertical feet over 679 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Forgotten Forest gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,390 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.
