Interstate drops 128 vertical feet over 1,638 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 100th steepest of 107 named runs at Whitefish. It faces southeast.

How well Interstate holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Interstate gets about 136% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 5,920 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.
