Erika's Glades drops 753 vertical feet over 2,349 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 63rd steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Erika's Glades gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,560 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.
