South Turtle Creek drops 371 vertical feet over 2,104 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 78th steepest of 81 named runs at Loveland. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, South Turtle Creek gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 11,630 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.
