Blue Caberfae Peaks, MI
Starkey drops 117 vertical feet over 462 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 26 named runs at Caberfae Peaks. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 15°, Starkey gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Caberfae Peaks does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Caberfae Peaks. Its top sits at 1,310 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.
