Blue Homewood, CA
Sunnyside drops 465 vertical feet over 2,401 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 45th steepest of 60 named runs at Homewood. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Sunnyside gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,060 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.
