Blue Boreal, CA
Trail Blazer drops 431 vertical feet over 2,138 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 71 named runs at Boreal. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 12°, Trail Blazer gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boreal does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Boreal. Its top sits at 7,550 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.
