Unrated Crystal Mountain Mi, MI
Buckaroo drops 292 vertical feet over 1,128 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 530 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 511 unrated runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 52 named runs at Crystal Mountain Mi. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 15°, Buckaroo gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,090 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
