Kit Carson drops 377 vertical feet over 1,442 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Kit Carson gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,090 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.
