Black diamond Hoodoo, OR
Crater drops 666 vertical feet over 1,813 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 1,590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 22°, Crater gets about 146% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,690 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
