Lower Stampede drops 169 vertical feet over 1,088 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces north.

How well Lower Stampede holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Lower Stampede gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 6,270 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.
