Black diamond Northstar, CA
White Rabbit drops 1,088 vertical feet over 3,126 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 90 named runs at Northstar. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 21°, White Rabbit gets about 141% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 8,070 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
