Green Eldora, CO
Foxtail drops 75 vertical feet over 955 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 58 named runs at Eldora. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Foxtail gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 9,530 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.
