Autobahn drops 91 vertical feet over 1,219 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 1,200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces southeast.

How well Autobahn holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southeast at an average 4°, Autobahn gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,300 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
