Blue Mt Rose, NV
Mine Train drops 420 vertical feet over 2,954 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Mine Train gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,100 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.
