Black diamond Warner Canyon, OR
Chute drops 115 vertical feet over 555 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 21 named runs at Warner Canyon. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Chute gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Warner Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Warner Canyon. Its top sits at 5,880 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.
