Double black Wolf Creek, CO
Bamboo drops 140 vertical feet over 660 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 112th steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 12°, Bamboo gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,690 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
