Blue Steamboat, CO
Maverick's Halfpipe drops 177 vertical feet over 649 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 149th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Maverick's Halfpipe gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,740 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
