Black diamond Loveland, CO
Hook 'em Horns drops 574 vertical feet over 2,462 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,040 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 81 named runs at Loveland. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Hook 'em Horns gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 11,940 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.
