Blue Great Divide, MT
Wild Acres drops 196 vertical feet over 790 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 123 named runs at Great Divide. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Wild Acres gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 7,030 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.
