Blue Devils Head, WI
Chicken Ridge drops 81 vertical feet over 622 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 19 named runs at Devils Head. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Chicken Ridge gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Devils Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Devils Head. Its top sits at 1,250 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.
