Black diamond Telluride, CO
Majestic drops 528 vertical feet over 1,684 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 137 named runs at Telluride. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 19°, Majestic gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 12,250 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.
