Blue Crystal Mountain Mi, MI
Pop's Peak drops 187 vertical feet over 1,090 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 52 named runs at Crystal Mountain Mi. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 10°, Pop's Peak gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,110 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.
