Black diamond Whitecap Mountains, WI
Matterhorn drops 316 vertical feet over 1,823 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 10°, Matterhorn gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,770 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.
