Double black Winter Park, CO
E Chute drops 416 vertical feet over 1,236 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 77% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, E Chute gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,750 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.
