Green Blue Mountain, ON
Southern Cross drops 710 vertical feet over 5,225 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 3,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 55 named runs at Blue Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Southern Cross 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 5th sunniest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
