Lower Fat City drops 167 vertical feet over 598 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Lower Fat City gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 9,940 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.
