Triple Zero drops 404 vertical feet over 1,262 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces southeast.

How well Triple Zero holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 19°, Triple Zero gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,000 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
