Green Lost Trail, MT
Gun Smoke drops 625 vertical feet over 4,803 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 570 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 60th steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Gun Smoke gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,060 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.
