Black diamond Red Lodge, MT
Pine Ridge drops 430 vertical feet over 1,702 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Pine Ridge gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,000 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
