Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Short Haul drops 406 vertical feet over 1,076 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 22°, Short Haul gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,450 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
