Black diamond Whitefish, MT
Lee's Way drops 391 vertical feet over 1,173 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 790 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 107 named runs at Whitefish. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 20°, Lee's Way gets about 148% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,300 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.
