Blue Lost Trail, MT
Wapiti drops 308 vertical feet over 1,221 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 67 named runs at Lost Trail. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Wapiti gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lost Trail does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Lost Trail. Its top sits at 7,270 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.
