High Noon drops 906 vertical feet over 4,259 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 140th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 12°, High Noon gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,380 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.
