Black diamond Ski Granby, CO
Roughrider drops 76 vertical feet over 428 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 42 named runs at Ski Granby. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 10°, Roughrider gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 8,800 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.
