Circe drops 381 vertical feet over 2,201 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 1,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Circe gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
