Blue Keystone, CO
Flying Dutchman drops 1,476 vertical feet over 6,624 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 2,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 76th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Flying Dutchman gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 11,610 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.
