Coffee Pot drops 1,412 vertical feet over 7,410 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 5,170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces north.

How well Coffee Pot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Coffee Pot gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,500 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.
