Black diamond China Peak, CA
Razorback drops 440 vertical feet over 1,878 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 54 named runs at China Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Razorback gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,910 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.
