Double black Great Divide, MT
Hibernation Headwall drops 272 vertical feet over 851 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Hibernation Headwall gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,000 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.
