Black diamond Red River, NM
Boomtown Face drops 258 vertical feet over 715 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Boomtown Face gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 8,990 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.
