Green Crystal Mountain Mi, MI
Hoot Owl drops 239 vertical feet over 2,102 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 52 named runs at Crystal Mountain Mi. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 7°, Hoot Owl gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,060 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.
