Stampede drops 557 vertical feet over 2,383 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 33 named runs at Pomerelle. It faces north.

How well Stampede holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Stampede gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Pomerelle. 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.
