Black diamond Powderhorn, CO
Hooligan drops 712 vertical feet over 2,667 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 1,520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 48 named runs at Powderhorn. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Hooligan gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 9,010 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.
