Green Mammoth, CA
Little Bird drops 464 vertical feet over 3,212 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 2,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 120th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Little Bird gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd 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.
