Green Alpine Meadows, CA
Meadow drops 155 vertical feet over 1,061 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 128th steepest of 132 named runs at Alpine Meadows. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 8°, Meadow gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alpine Meadows does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Alpine Meadows. Its top sits at 7,080 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
