Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Boiler drops 669 vertical feet over 1,995 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Boiler gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,340 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.
