Black diamond Antelope Butte, WY
Scott's Bluff drops 644 vertical feet over 2,406 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Scott's Bluff gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,090 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.
