Black diamond Mt Lemmon, AZ
Gobbler drops 344 vertical feet over 874 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 21 named runs at Mt Lemmon. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 23°, Gobbler gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Lemmon does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Mt Lemmon. Its top sits at 8,930 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.
