Double black (extreme) Crested Butte, CO
Chiquita drops 735 vertical feet over 1,380 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 72nd steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 32°, Chiquita gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 11,350 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.
