Black diamond Whitefish, MT
Marmot drops 389 vertical feet over 1,326 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 107 named runs at Whitefish. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Marmot gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,720 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.
