Blue Red River, NM
Silverado drops 437 vertical feet over 1,399 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Silverado gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,220 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.
