Blue Bear Valley, CA
Lunch Run drops 1,088 vertical feet over 5,579 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 74 named runs at Bear Valley. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 12°, Lunch Run gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Bear Valley. Its top sits at 8,430 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.
