Double black Winter Park, CO
C Chute drops 414 vertical feet over 934 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 27°, C Chute gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,780 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.
