Blue Teton Pass, MT
Gros Ventre drops 378 vertical feet over 1,431 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 38 named runs at Teton Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Gros Ventre gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,600 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.
