Posey drops 445 vertical feet over 1,599 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 60th steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Posey gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,330 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.
