Black diamond Mt Rose, NV
Mineshaft drops 609 vertical feet over 1,822 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 20°, Mineshaft gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,070 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.
