Blue Crystal Mountain, WA
Green Valley drops 861 vertical feet over 3,579 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 93rd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Green Valley gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,730 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.
