Blue Teton Pass, MT
Ambush drops 30 vertical feet over 471 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 38 named runs at Teton Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Ambush gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,450 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.
