Double black Antelope Butte, WY
E6 drops 347 vertical feet over 3,992 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 36th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 6°, E6 gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 8,820 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.
