Blue Great Divide, MT
Scout drops 124 vertical feet over 495 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 105th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Scout gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,450 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.
