Adrenaline drops 335 vertical feet over 1,156 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces east.

How well Adrenaline holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 17°, Adrenaline gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,560 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
