Black diamond Red Lodge, MT
HFNT drops 204 vertical feet over 763 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 16°, HFNT gets about 144% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 7,970 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.
