Down the Hatch drops 321 vertical feet over 1,771 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 85th steepest of 98 named runs at Schweitzer. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Down the Hatch gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's shadier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 5,740 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.
