Black diamond Ski Mystic Deer Mountain, SD
Lloyd's Edge drops 88 vertical feet over 310 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 52 named runs at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Lloyd's Edge gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,640 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
