Upper Arrowhead Loop drops 405 vertical feet over 1,231 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Upper Arrowhead Loop gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,910 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.
