Picabo's Street drops 988 vertical feet over 2,376 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 550 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 99 named runs at Sun Valley. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 25°, Picabo's Street gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,190 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.
