Black diamond Mt Rose, NV
Greg's Gamble drops 831 vertical feet over 2,204 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 22°, Greg's Gamble gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,260 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.
