Blue Wolf Creek, CO
Laverty Lane drops 215 vertical feet over 1,779 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 93rd steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Laverty Lane gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,850 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.
