Blue Wolf Creek, CO
Park Avenue drops 243 vertical feet over 3,009 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 111th steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Park Avenue gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,380 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.
