Mineral Point drops 405 vertical feet over 2,288 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 186th steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Mineral Point gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,320 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.
