Blue Arizona Snowbowl, AZ
Wild Turkey drops 496 vertical feet over 2,712 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 1,350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 50 named runs at Arizona Snowbowl. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Wild Turkey gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Arizona Snowbowl does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Arizona Snowbowl. Its top sits at 10,120 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.
