Primetime drops 428 vertical feet over 1,625 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 70th steepest of 98 named runs at Schweitzer. It faces east.

How well Primetime holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 15°, Primetime gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 5,290 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
