Blue Crested Butte, CO
Daisy drops 320 vertical feet over 2,773 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 208th steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 7°, Daisy gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th sunniest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,150 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.
