Uno drops 357 vertical feet over 1,346 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 44 named runs at Sipapu. It faces northeast.

How well Uno holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Uno gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sipapu does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Sipapu. Its top sits at 8,610 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.
