foresight drops 636 vertical feet over 1,640 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 77% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces northeast.

How well foresight holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 23°, foresight gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,550 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.
