Black diamond Keystone, CO
Liberty drops 620 vertical feet over 1,549 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, Liberty gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,130 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.
