Blue Lost Trail, MT
Elk Point Trail drops 134 vertical feet over 1,051 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 8°, Elk Point Trail gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,650 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.
