Beginner drops 176 vertical feet over 1,419 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 9° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 34 named runs at Panorama. It faces north.

How well Beginner holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 7°, Beginner gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Panorama does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd shadiest named run at Panorama. Its top sits at 3,990 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.
