Black diamond Antelope Butte, WY
Fast Eddie drops 153 vertical feet over 500 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Fast Eddie gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 8,690 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.
