Double black Powderhorn, CO
Mudslide drops 492 vertical feet over 1,456 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 48 named runs at Powderhorn. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Mudslide gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 9,500 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.
