Blue Antelope Butte, WY
Boomerang drops 177 vertical feet over 811 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Boomerang gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,130 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.
