Double black Lost Trail, MT
A drops 230 vertical feet over 370 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 50° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 39°, A gets about 156% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 8,060 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
