Black diamond June Mountain, CA
Lower Carson drops 211 vertical feet over 1,112 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 31 named runs at June Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Lower Carson gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 7,820 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.
