Double black (extreme) Keystone, CO
Wild Card drops 1,205 vertical feet over 3,033 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 2,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 24°, Wild Card gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 11,730 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.
