Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Riflesight Notch drops 863 vertical feet over 2,538 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Riflesight Notch gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th 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.
