South Basin drops 576 vertical feet over 3,145 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 64th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, South Basin gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,400 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
