Double black Winter Park, CO
A Chute drops 438 vertical feet over 1,009 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 48° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 27°, A Chute gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,710 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.
