Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Rainbow Cut drops 1,024 vertical feet over 3,743 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 2,890 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 81st steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Rainbow Cut gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,470 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.
