Black diamond Steamboat, CO
Edge of the World drops 1,865 vertical feet over 7,766 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 2,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 14°, Edge of the World gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,800 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.
