Black diamond Great Divide, MT
Huckelberry Hill drops 504 vertical feet over 1,762 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,340 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Huckelberry Hill gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,910 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.
