Double black Snowmass, CO
Weird Woods drops 110 vertical feet over 608 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Weird Woods gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,670 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.
