Green Mountain High, CA
First Tracks drops 72 vertical feet over 902 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 37 named runs at Mountain High. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, First Tracks gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 6,690 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.
