Central Park drops 434 vertical feet over 2,576 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 1,450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 128th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces north.

How well Central Park holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Central Park gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 10,690 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.
