Abandonded Ski Run drops 337 vertical feet over 1,565 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Abandonded Ski Run gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 8,900 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.
