Black diamond Keystone, CO
Bald Mountain Glades drops 1,015 vertical feet over 3,169 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 2,420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 19°, Bald Mountain Glades gets about 132% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,290 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.
