Double black Mt Baldy, CA
Morgan's Grove drops 469 vertical feet over 912 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 26 named runs at Mt Baldy. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 31°, Morgan's Grove gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 7,460 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.
