Lariat drops 313 vertical feet over 1,473 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lariat gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 9,480 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.
