Sneaky's drops 1,354 vertical feet over 6,367 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 2,880 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 106th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces north.

How well Sneaky's holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Sneaky's gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 11,870 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.
