Paradise Bowl drops 525 vertical feet over 993 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 45° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 32°, Paradise Bowl gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,500 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.
