Double black Mammoth, CA
P4 drops 320 vertical feet over 485 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 47° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 42°, P4 gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,390 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.
