Green Crested Butte, CO
Bubba's Shortcut drops 84 vertical feet over 1,021 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 227th steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Bubba's Shortcut gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,330 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.
