Ambush drops 375 vertical feet over 1,622 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Ambush gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 76th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,600 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
