Blue Great Divide, MT
The Hollow drops 448 vertical feet over 1,723 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,030 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 95th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, The Hollow gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,420 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.
