Double black Mt Rose, NV
Divine Line drops 240 vertical feet over 523 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 28°, Divine Line gets about 38% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,030 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.
