Green Buttermilk, CO
Larkspur drops 706 vertical feet over 3,732 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 3,420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 41 named runs at Buttermilk. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Larkspur gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Buttermilk does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Buttermilk. Its top sits at 9,850 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.
