Tempo drops 294 vertical feet over 1,244 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 111th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces north.

How well Tempo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Tempo gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,430 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.
