Black diamond Keystone, CO
Wombat Chutes drops 609 vertical feet over 1,905 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 19°, Wombat Chutes gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,160 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
