Green Mammoth, CA
Gretel drops 348 vertical feet over 2,641 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 1,640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 147th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Gretel gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 8,740 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.
