Lower Arrowhead Loop drops 964 vertical feet over 3,500 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 110th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Lower Arrowhead Loop gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,510 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.
