Heck No drops 145 vertical feet over 1,031 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 62nd steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Heck No gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,120 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.
