Double black Great Divide, MT
Old Doug drops 357 vertical feet over 792 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 27°, Old Doug gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,560 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
