Blue Crested Butte, CO
Floresta drops 298 vertical feet over 1,472 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 182nd steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Floresta gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,030 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.
