Green Blue Mountain, ON
Explorer drops 34 vertical feet over 369 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 55 named runs at Blue Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Explorer gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 790 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.
