Blue Red Lodge, MT
Lazy M drops 1,448 vertical feet over 5,386 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Lazy M gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 9,340 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.
