Auto Bahn drops 170 vertical feet over 1,117 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces southeast.

How well Auto Bahn holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, Auto Bahn gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 7,800 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
