Black diamond Breckenridge, CO
Spitfire drops 656 vertical feet over 2,164 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 114th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Spitfire gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,600 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.
