trestle drops 877 vertical feet over 3,667 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 1,870 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces east.

How well trestle holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, trestle gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,910 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.
