Norwegian drops 266 vertical feet over 661 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces north.

How well Norwegian holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Norwegian gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,700 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.
