Black diamond Mammoth, CA
Andy's Double Gold drops 539 vertical feet over 1,600 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 71st steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Andy's Double Gold gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,540 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.
