The Doors drops 444 vertical feet over 739 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 37°, The Doors gets about 164% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,560 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.
