Double black A-Basin, CO
Pali Main Street drops 1,075 vertical feet over 2,455 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 1,690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 161 named runs at A-Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 26°, Pali Main Street gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at A-Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at A-Basin. Its top sits at 12,080 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.
