Black diamond June Mountain, CA
Carson Cutoff drops 429 vertical feet over 1,293 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 890 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 31 named runs at June Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Carson Cutoff gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 8,070 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.
