Minnie's - Middle drops 164 vertical feet over 833 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 168th steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Minnie's - Middle gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 9,820 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.
