Black diamond Cuchara, CO
Hit or Miss Snowboard Park drops 272 vertical feet over 1,228 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 32 named runs at Cuchara. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Hit or Miss Snowboard Park gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 9,700 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.
