Black diamond Caberfae Peaks, MI
South Peak Trail drops 245 vertical feet over 852 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 26 named runs at Caberfae Peaks. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 17°, South Peak Trail gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,530 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
