Black diamond Copper, CO
Spaulding Ridge drops 280 vertical feet over 1,924 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 109th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Spaulding Ridge gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 95th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,320 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
