Double black Antelope Butte, WY
E5 drops 602 vertical feet over 2,890 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,570 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, E5 gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,340 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.
