Blue Breckenridge, CO
Monte Cristo, Angels Rest drops 9 vertical feet over 93 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 80 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 206th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Monte Cristo, Angels Rest gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 10,530 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.
