Blackfoot drops 28 vertical feet over 1,045 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces northeast.

How well Blackfoot holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 2°, Blackfoot gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,370 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.
