Black diamond Ski Granby, CO
Striker drops 165 vertical feet over 635 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 42 named runs at Ski Granby. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Striker gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd 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.
