Corkshrew drops 473 vertical feet over 1,339 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 30 named runs at Diamond Peak. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 21°, Corkshrew gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,420 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
