Black diamond White Pine, WY
Roaring Fork drops 339 vertical feet over 1,144 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 13% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 22 named runs at White Pine. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Roaring Fork gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 9,150 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.
