Teaser drops 614 vertical feet over 3,224 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 3,140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 41 named runs at Buttermilk. It faces north.

How well Teaser holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Teaser gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Buttermilk does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Buttermilk. Its top sits at 9,640 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
