Black diamond Mt Baldy, CA
Tortilla Flats drops 203 vertical feet over 474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 26°, Tortilla Flats gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,120 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.
