Blue Diamond Peak, NV
Lakeview drops 290 vertical feet over 1,724 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 30 named runs at Diamond Peak. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 10°, Lakeview gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,590 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.
