Blue Maverick Mountain, MT
Thin Air drops 813 vertical feet over 3,134 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 18 named runs at Maverick Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Thin Air gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Maverick Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Maverick Mountain. Its top sits at 8,320 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.
