Black diamond Whitefish, MT
Wing and a Prayer drops 624 vertical feet over 2,031 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 1,850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 107 named runs at Whitefish. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 18°, Wing and a Prayer gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 78th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,440 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
