Green Mad River Glen, VT
Duck drops 179 vertical feet over 1,180 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,070 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 60 named runs at Mad River Glen. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Duck gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 2,590 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.
