Blue Sky drops 20 vertical feet over 611 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 600 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 198th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces east.

How well Blue Sky holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 2°, Blue Sky gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 82nd sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 9,760 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.
