Blue Breckenridge, CO
Upper Lehman drops 965 vertical feet over 4,797 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 157th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Upper Lehman gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 11,500 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.
