Black diamond Steamboat, CO
Huevos drops 423 vertical feet over 1,854 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 780 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 13°, Huevos gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,540 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.
