Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Aces & Eights drops 401 vertical feet over 1,109 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 65th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Aces & Eights gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,440 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.
