Blue Great Divide, MT
Scared Bear drops 149 vertical feet over 529 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 89th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Scared Bear gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,160 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.
