Blue Lost Trail, MT
Sacajawea drops 1,553 vertical feet over 6,330 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Sacajawea gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 8,010 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
