Double black Copper, CO
Falcon Alley drops 677 vertical feet over 1,906 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Falcon Alley gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,270 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.
