Blue Arizona Snowbowl, AZ
Pluto drops 264 vertical feet over 965 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 50 named runs at Arizona Snowbowl. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 16°, Pluto gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 10,290 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.
