Double black Mammoth, CA
MJB's drops 494 vertical feet over 993 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 56° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 31°, MJB's gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,820 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.
