Black diamond Homewood, CA
Race Course drops 554 vertical feet over 1,364 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 60 named runs at Homewood. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 24°, Race Course gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 6,920 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.
