Double black (extreme) Crested Butte, CO
Rambo drops 439 vertical feet over 1,163 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 45° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Rambo gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,440 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.
