Green Heavenly, CA
Patsy's drops 223 vertical feet over 1,828 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 112th steepest of 124 named runs at Heavenly. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 7°, Patsy's gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 8,270 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.
