Black diamond Turner Mountain, MT
Chan's Run drops 822 vertical feet over 1,972 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 1,750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 80% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 23 named runs at Turner Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 25°, Chan's Run gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 5,360 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.
