Black diamond Homewood, CA
Juniper drops 352 vertical feet over 1,026 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 60 named runs at Homewood. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Juniper gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,510 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.
