Basin Street drops 199 vertical feet over 996 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 52 named runs at Crystal Mountain Mi. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 12°, Basin Street gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,130 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.
