Double black Granite Peak, WI
Caroline's Couloir drops 47 vertical feet over 241 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Caroline's Couloir gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,760 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.
