Green Angel Fire, NM
Easiest Way Down drops 74 vertical feet over 473 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 88 named runs at Angel Fire. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 9°, Easiest Way Down gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 9,900 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.
