Compromise drops 238 vertical feet over 965 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 130th steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, Compromise gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 9,590 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.
