Double black Mammoth, CA
Wipeout Chute 1 drops 914 vertical feet over 1,751 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 32°, Wipeout Chute 1 gets about 35% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,840 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.
