Double black Mt Rose, NV
Fuse drops 956 vertical feet over 1,848 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 32°, Fuse gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,250 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.
