Double black Pine Mountain, MI
Ricochette drops 60 vertical feet over 557 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 60 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 33 named runs at Pine Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 6°, Ricochette gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,510 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
