Arc drops 59 vertical feet over 360 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 179th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces west.

How well Arc holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Arc gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,190 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.
