Double black Telluride, CO
Lakeview drops 749 vertical feet over 1,588 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 137 named runs at Telluride. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 29°, Lakeview gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 12,220 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.
