Green Mt Rose, NV
Lariat drops 92 vertical feet over 986 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 6°, Lariat gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,860 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.
