Green Afton Alps, MN
Carol's Crib drops 172 vertical feet over 1,260 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 39 named runs at Afton Alps. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Carol's Crib gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Afton Alps does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Afton Alps. Its top sits at 870 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.
