North 40 drops 608 vertical feet over 2,558 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,790 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, North 40 gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,530 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.
