Blue Boreal, CA
Sun Slide drops 231 vertical feet over 1,171 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 71 named runs at Boreal. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 11°, Sun Slide gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,610 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.
