Black diamond Whitecap Mountains, WI
Kitzbuhel drops 247 vertical feet over 1,205 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Kitzbuhel gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
