Bodacious Pitch drops 142 vertical feet over 371 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 23°, Bodacious Pitch gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 9,210 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.
