Blue Breckenridge, CO
Crosscut drops 181 vertical feet over 1,034 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 167th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Crosscut gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,150 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.
