Black diamond China Peak, CA
Stadium drops 19 vertical feet over 377 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 54 named runs at China Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Stadium gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 8,490 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
