Blue Boreal, CA
Lyla's Run drops 278 vertical feet over 1,232 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 71 named runs at Boreal. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 13°, Lyla's Run gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,490 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.
