Blue Angel Fire, NM
Lower Hari Kari drops 182 vertical feet over 650 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Lower Hari Kari gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 10,050 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.
