Lucky #7 drops 264 vertical feet over 958 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Lucky #7 gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 9,140 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.
