Black diamond White Pine, WY
Pipestone drops 128 vertical feet over 586 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 22 named runs at White Pine. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Pipestone gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
