Green Eldora, CO
Ryder's drops 222 vertical feet over 1,275 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 58 named runs at Eldora. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Ryder's gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 9,600 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.
