Blue Mammoth, CA
Bridges drops 469 vertical feet over 2,579 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 128th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Bridges gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
