Blue Loveland, CO
Awesome Ungroomed drops 371 vertical feet over 1,957 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 81 named runs at Loveland. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Awesome Ungroomed gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 12,090 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.
