Green Beaver Mountain, UT
Gentle Ben drops 779 vertical feet over 5,258 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 3,140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Gentle Ben gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,630 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.
