Black diamond Antelope Butte, WY
Buckhorn Roll drops 138 vertical feet over 544 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Buckhorn Roll gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,290 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.
