Blue Crested Butte, CO
Black Eagle drops 941 vertical feet over 4,757 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,600 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 172nd steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Black Eagle gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,150 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.
