Black diamond Turner Mountain, MT
Far North drops 753 vertical feet over 1,920 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 23 named runs at Turner Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 23°, Far North gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 5,260 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.
