Black diamond Telluride, CO
Milk Run drops 786 vertical feet over 2,654 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 960 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 70th steepest of 137 named runs at Telluride. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Milk Run gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 10,550 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.
