Blue Killington, VT
Pipe Dream drops 928 vertical feet over 4,814 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 3,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 51st steepest of 154 named runs at Killington. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 11°, Pipe Dream gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,860 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
