Black diamond Winter Park, CO
Sleeper drops 1,444 vertical feet over 5,223 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 3,550 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Sleeper gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,030 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.
