Double black Snowmass, CO
Powderhorn drops 2,352 vertical feet over 10,163 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 6,870 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, Powderhorn gets about 72% 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 65th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,600 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.

Measured by ZRankings from USGS lidar (1-meter where it exists, coarser elsewhere). Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
