Bobcat drops 397 vertical feet over 1,716 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces northeast.

How well Bobcat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Bobcat gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,140 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.
