Blue Alpine Meadows, CA
Robin Hood drops 629 vertical feet over 2,209 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 880 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 109th steepest of 132 named runs at Alpine Meadows. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 17°, Robin Hood gets about 133% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alpine Meadows does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Alpine Meadows. Its top sits at 7,940 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
