Tipi Trail drops 616 vertical feet over 4,817 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 80% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 54 named runs at Red Lodge. It faces east.

How well Tipi Trail holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Tipi Trail gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,510 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
