Black diamond Mt Baldy, CA
Goldridge drops 530 vertical feet over 1,500 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Goldridge gets about 52% 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 2nd shadiest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,220 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.
