Green Mt Rose, NV
Buckboard drops 102 vertical feet over 492 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Buckboard gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,860 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
