Blue Loveland, CO
Bennett's Bowl drops 382 vertical feet over 1,826 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 65th steepest of 81 named runs at Loveland. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Bennett's Bowl gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 12,010 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.
