Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Medicine Man drops 880 vertical feet over 2,486 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 80% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 21°, Medicine Man gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,350 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.
