Blue Mount Snow, VT
Lower Fool's Gold drops 392 vertical feet over 2,230 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Lower Fool's Gold gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,360 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.
