Coyote drops 729 vertical feet over 2,432 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 790 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces northeast.

How well Coyote holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Coyote gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 6,080 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.
