Double black Cuchara, CO
Burnout drops 786 vertical feet over 2,748 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 32 named runs at Cuchara. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Burnout gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 10,490 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
