Black diamond Diamond Peak, NV
Battleborn drops 723 vertical feet over 1,877 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 30 named runs at Diamond Peak. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 23°, Battleborn gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,990 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.
