Double black June Mountain, CA
Carson drops 1,120 vertical feet over 3,079 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 910 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 31 named runs at June Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 22°, Carson gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 8,940 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.
