Blue Teton Pass, MT
Hourglass drops 305 vertical feet over 1,512 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 38 named runs at Teton Pass. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 12°, Hourglass gets about 132% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 7,000 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.
