Roundup drops 865 vertical feet over 7,127 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces northwest.

How well Roundup holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Roundup gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,520 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.
