Black diamond Great Divide, MT
Vigilante drops 354 vertical feet over 1,286 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 97th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Vigilante gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th 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.
