Double black Lost Trail, MT
Slide drops 230 vertical feet over 707 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Slide gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,710 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.
