Black diamond Granite Peak, WI
Rendezvous drops 83 vertical feet over 874 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 4% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 6°, Rendezvous gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,750 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.
