Black diamond Loveland, CO
Jelly Roll drops 462 vertical feet over 1,878 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 81 named runs at Loveland. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Jelly Roll gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 12,450 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.
