Black diamond Turner Mountain, MT
Far Pig Chute drops 382 vertical feet over 1,230 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 23 named runs at Turner Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Far Pig Chute gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 4,270 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
