Double black Antelope Butte, WY
E3 drops 658 vertical feet over 2,501 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, E3 gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,430 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.
