Double black Snowmass, CO
Waters drops 437 vertical feet over 1,461 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 950 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Waters gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,590 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
