Last Chance Gulch drops 368 vertical feet over 4,484 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 9° about 1,730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 34 named runs at Showdown. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 5°, Last Chance Gulch gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Showdown does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Showdown. Its top sits at 7,230 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
