Blue Winter Park, CO
Little Pierre drops 626 vertical feet over 1,735 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Little Pierre gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,180 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.
