Black diamond Eldora, CO
Muleshoe drops 1,195 vertical feet over 4,718 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 3,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 58 named runs at Eldora. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Muleshoe gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 10,530 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.
