Double black Bear Mountain, CA
Geronimo drops 1,118 vertical feet over 3,740 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 2,710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 25 named runs at Bear Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Geronimo gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Bear Mountain. Its top sits at 8,790 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.
