Dive drops 447 vertical feet over 1,240 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 49% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces north.

How well Dive holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Dive gets about 42% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,660 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.
