Double black Antelope Butte, WY
W1 drops 608 vertical feet over 2,618 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 2,500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, W1 gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,230 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.
