Black diamond Mt Rose, NV
Lowball drops 282 vertical feet over 594 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 29°, Lowball gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,600 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.
