Blue Mt Rose, NV
Silver Dollar drops 982 vertical feet over 2,970 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 19°, Silver Dollar gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 9,440 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.
