Black diamond Mt Baldy, CA
Emile's Bowl drops 805 vertical feet over 1,987 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 24°, Emile's Bowl gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,500 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.
